So it looks like pronvit has abandoned this project, but thankfully he left us the code. Not the last version unfortunately, so kinetic scrolling is missing, and the customized webkit source is missing as well.

Since this project is far too good to let it rot, I decided to try to give it a spin. Turns out it was not too hard to convert the project to use bundyo's webkit package, and with a few changes, it is now running reasonably well.

I uploaded the svn diff and debian package to my site. The version name is 0.0.9.1 to make clear this is not based on the 0.10 released by pronvit and really a downgrade (no kinetic scrolling). So re-implementing kinetic scrolling is what I'll eventually tackle next. Since I suck at writing C any help is really welcome.

PS: I did contact pronvit before starting to hack on this, and really hope we still hear from him, because I love the kinetic scrolling he implemented.
