The easiest way would be to reuse the GTK+ API. WPE has the same

course depend on GTK+, but only for the WebView, and a few other
fallback implementations like the file chooser, color chooser,
printing, etc, that are, in any case, optional. So, we could move 95%
of the GTK+ API to a common glib dir and reuse all that in WPE, only
adding a WebView implementation for WPE.
I'm sure reimplementing WebKitWebView without GTK+ will be a lot of
work, and I'm pretty sure it's a lot more than 5% of the current API.
But I like this plan. It will result in a dramatically better API for
WPE than what we have now. The cross-platform C API is not very good.
Our GObject-based GTK+ API is. Why didn't we consider this before? :)
