[Sugar-devel] How everyone can help with 0.100

This is based on the last sugar-build configuration which supported fedora
18. Note, I'm guessing a lot, you should give it a try before settling on a
plan.

* webkitgtk

which drags in

libsoup
glib
gobject-introspection
pygobject
dbus-python

* gwebsockets
* libxklavier (not needed on the XO according to Jerry).

The first group of dependencies are probably going to be quite a pain. So
you might want to patch webactivity.py to support webkit1 instead.

That would leave only gwebsockets. Add sugar, sugar-toolkit-gtk3,
sugar-datastore, sugar-artwork. A total of five packages, not too bad.
