I need something which integrates with the glib main loop, so I can run
both client and server in the same process, which allows me to easily write
tests.

Sure, but we need people to work on HTML activities too if we want to make
progress on that front. So we need the new components to be built.

I don't really think it's matter of a thin or thick layer. We would need
Webkit in any case, it's just that we have chosen to develop on a version
which is not currently available in distributions.

No worries, I'm not particularly sensitive to flames anyway. You are free
to take sugar-build in whatever direction you like, the code is there. But
honestly I'm not sure what you asking me to do...

Some of the issues you pointed out are not with sugar-build itself, for
example the fact that webkitgtk 2.0.x is part of the platform. Some are
non-issues, like the fact that we should be doing clean builds in buildbot
or testing before pushing, we are already. Finally the split between sugar
and sugar-html is not something I'm interested to spend my time on.

If there is anything else I can help with let me know!
