[Slackbuilds-users] webkitgtk vs. webkit2gtk

There are slackbuilds by the names
        webkitgtk
and
        webkit2gtk
which seem to be more or less the same thing ("webkitgtk" with no
"2"), with versions of varying degrees of age.

Can anyone (*cough*, Willy and Erik, *cough*) comment on
-> why there are two versions in SBo?
-> do we really want both versions?
-> does one version subsume the other (except for some SBos which
   want one and some which want the other)?
-> is it possible to combine these into one all-singing, all-dancing
   version which makes all the dependent packages happy?

Thanks.

                                Jim
