Re: [orca-list] Important heads-up for users of master: cruft removal time

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I don't think we've had to beware of such strategies for some time,
allow me to remind those who use package builds like in Arch Linux,
you won't need to uninstall anything.  When you "makepkg" the orca-git
package from AUR, it will replace all the system wide orca files and
modules for you.

Just clarifying things a bit.

Frankly, I hadn't realized that the help system was webkit based;
guess I haven't needed help lately.:)
