Yeah, what WebKit is doing there is wrong and they need to stop that
immediately.  Issuing a warning for calling a deprecated function is
fine at build time but serves no purpose at run time since end users
can't do anything about it.

The problem is the function it wants us to call was added to WebKit only
very recently, in a version that far exceeds our minimum requirement for
building Evolution.  I'll see if I can hack in some WebKit version check
to silence it for the time being.
