Hmmm..my guess would be: he either stays with gtkhtml2 or he ports his
app to gtkhtml1-port. Either way he should be happy. Since you would not
depend on a library that does not have needed features you do not depend
on any active development. So first choice is fine. Secondly since
software developing means carefully designing you program in addition to
just writing it, a port to gtkhmtl1-port should not be too hard. So
second choice is fine as well.
