gnome-extra/gtkhtml: take over maintenance
gtkhtml is deprecated and our Gnome project would like to get rid of it,
unfortunately without it app-text/xiphos has to be built without editor
support (which is the way e.g. Debian, Ubuntu and Red Hat have gone) and
from what I have seen many people are unhappy about the inability to use
the Studypad or make personal annotations. Xiphos is now the only
remaining consumer of this library so I shall maintain it between now
and until upstream have implemented a working alternative (apparently
they began to discuss it back in April), after which it will be
last-rited.
Discussed with and approved by leio on IRC.
