        I think the latest  release of suckless surf
  (v2.1), is  still on the 4.0API,  but their latest
  unreleased git HEAD is already migrated to the 4.1
  API, I personally use (a heavily modified) version
  of their latest  HEAD, so I build  against the 4.1
  API for now.  I wonder if we should consider using
  the latest surf commit to allow us to drop 4.0 for
  good.  I've been working on and testing an updated
  version of webkitgtk4.1 for a couple of weeks now,
  and recently pushed icu-opt to help build the more
  recent versions.   I will push the  updates within
  the next couple of weeks at most, hopefully.
