The intention is not to support them simultaneously, but I hope and
assume we will be moving forward with webkit.  There is a
'gnc-html-engine-supports-css' which is supposed to return true for
webkit and false for gtkhtml, so you could use it in an if-then-else
environment.  The purpose is to allow the scm code to decide whether css
features should be used or not.
