Easier said than done. :) 'bst build' worked fine, but then I got stuck 
here when trying to run make inside the BuildStream shell:

(process:9730): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 01:15:08.492: 
gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed
2018-03-13 
01:15:08,929:scangobj.py:execute_command:1196:WARNING:Running scanner 
failed: -11, command: /bin/bash ../../libtool --mode=execute 
./libyelp-scan

It looks like gtkdoc is broken inside the shell. Not sure what to do 
about that. As a workaround, I tried exiting the shell, running 'bst 
build core/yelp.bst', and reentering the shell, to ensure that I would 
only need to do an incremental build inside the shell, but that wasn't 
enough. So I don't know what to do either, other than try to debug what 
is going wrong with gtk-doc, or revert the commit that depends on a 
newer WebKit. (You could, for example, add WEBKIT_CHECK_VERSION 
conditionals to build that code only with older WebKit.)

I also noticed that running yelp inside the shell doesn't work because 
it requires its gsettings schemas to be installed. This is a common 
problem; [1] shows how to fix it when using meson, not sure if there 
are any Autotools examples. This isn't hard, and isn't a blocker to 
releasing.
