Hi,

so the following ports use www/webkit or www/webkit,gtk3:

cad/xtrkcad
graphics/ebook-viewer
mail/claws-mail
mail/geary
productivity/gnucash
www/luakit
www/midori
www/surf
www/vimb

www/webkit is the 2.4 branch, which is dead/abandoned/unmaintained
upstream, cf
https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2016/02/01/on-webkit-security-updates/
and https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-gtk/2016-September/002779.html

The security circus being what it is (OMG YOUR OS SHIPS AN INSECURE
LIBRARY STOP THE PRESS IM GOING TO SHAME YOU ON TWITTER), it would be
nice to get rid of this, so can the ones maintaining those ports try to
reach the respective upstreams and see if there's a way to make those
ports use www/webkitgtk4 (which is maintained, until upstream webkit
becomes crazy again..) ? gmpc-wikipedia and py-webkitgtk have already
been removed.

I'll have a look at what can be done for geary and midori. As for surf,
there's surf2... ?

Thanks to Davide Gerhard for insisting on getting this fixed, one way
or another...

Landry
