Hi, Kevin - and thanks for the review.

As Xan suggested earlier, I've changed this to simply 'webkitgtk'.

My understanding is that we _are_ distributing it under LGPLv2+, but I leave
the other clauses in there so that it is still feasible to re-use that code
under the MPL/GPL's terms, since we're merely redistributing a pristine copy of
the upstream tarball (and not changing anything in it).

SVG and WML support are included as build-time condtionals (`--with svg' and
`--with wml', respectively). I've also added the code coverage support as a
build conditional in 1.1.4-1 (`--with coverage') and enabled the geolocation
support by default, following upstream's configure script settings.

The new SRPM and spec file are on my webspace:
SRPM: http://projects.thecodergeek.com/for-review/webkitgtk-1.1.4-1.src.rpm
Spec: http://projects.thecodergeek.com/for-review/webkitgtk.spec

Thanks again! :)
