I think this could be considered to be confusing. It looks like instead
of porting the original gtkhtml-1.x codebase to GTK2, they created an
entirely new code base for GTK 2.x. This new branch is gtkhtml2.

The gtkhtml3 version is a direct port of the gtkhtml-1.x code base. The
new code base in GTK, gtkhtml2, does not have all the features required
for Ximian to port Evolution to GTK2. Thus Ximian themselves ported the
original gtkhtml-1.x code base to GTK2 for use in Evolution. 

Take a look at this long thread I found, "GtkHtml 1, 2 and 1->2". It
seems to explain what is happening. From this thread the gtkhtml3 code
base looks to be completely Ximian maintained branch.
