 The XO display is very high dpi, so images and fonts from web pages are
 very small.

 I had a look to how hulahop was handling this and it seems pretty similar
 to what window.devicePixelRatio provides these days. webkitgtk doesn't
 provide a way to set it to a custom value, so I'm trying out the following
 patch (takes a while to build especially inside a vm, so I don't have
 results to report yet).

 The hulahop factor was around 1.4.
