Well, while we're at it...libgtkhtml doesn't appear in the 2.11.5 or
2.11.90 releases (it does appear to be in all releases <= 2.10.x) but
still appears at
http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning_2fTwoPointEleven_2fDesktop. 
Should it have been part of the release or should it be removed from
the wiki (I believe yelp was the only module that used to use it,
right?)
