Comment (by RJVB):

 Replying to [comment:33 drkp]:
 > Sure, I guess the real question here is why we want this port at all. My
 specific use case is for rendering gnucash reports, and I suppose also for
 rendering HTML documentation in yelp.

 Yes, I think those would be the almost unavoidable reasons, but how recent
 a version does that really require?

 It might also be a good idea to disable features (by default) that are
 less likely to be of use in such applications. Webkit has become very
 expensive to build, and it can be pretty demanding in terms of runtime
 resources too.


 > EGL is also currently disabled in the mesa port.

 It's probably easier to enable EGL in Mesa than tweaking ANGLE. There are
 just some decisions to make about the required LLVM library.
 FWIW, Mesa's software EGL can also be used on remote X11 displays, so
 there's that advantage.

 > This is no longer true in the latest versions (hence the pkg-config
 version bump from -4.0 to -4.1).

 The .pc files would be similarly versioned in parallel installations.
