Hi,

During the last few weeks I started to bind webkit-gtk to ocaml and I
fell like making a preview release.

I did not have time to thoroughly check the bindings but they should
be mostly working except signals (small changes needed to please the
type-checker).
The bindings are actually generated from the webkit-gtk headers. I
decided to do so because of the size of the webkit library and most
important, because I knew the webkit-gtk API was about to be expanded.
And it has been for the best [1].

I also tried to make something that could generate bindings for any
gtk library. The generator is currently a bit tied to webkit-gtk but
the basis is there and I'd be happy to try it on a different library,
I just don't know which one to try. ;-)

There is currently no documentation and the api will probably change
(the names are longer than needed for instance and a few things are
not accessible ). But as I said this is mostly a preview and I'm
looking for comments and wishes for the library.

You can find the tarball here :
http://pers.yaxm.org/temp/lablwebkit-preview.tar.gz .
If the headers are not in /usr/include/webkit-1.0, make from the
toplevel with 'WEBKIT_HEADERS=/path/to/headers make'. The path needs
to contain the 'webkit' folder.

[1] : If you have used webkit-gtk, you have maybe noticed some
problems with new windows and downloads handling. This has recently
changed but is probably only available to git/svn/nightly versions.
