[lazarus] Help files

[Michal Bukovjan]

Hello,

gtkhtml may be a little a moving target, but maybe not anymore, since it 
is integrated in the Evolution 1.x (and Gnome help system relies on that 
as well, I suppose).

And as for the dependencies - this is what rpm (deb) packages are 
supposed to be for :-)
I think the gtkhtml is now or will be a part of any distro that supports 
Gnome, so this should not be a big problem. (most distro aimed at 
desktop will include it).
And Qt/KDE may have something similar as well (Konqueror), so Lazarus 
could support multiple engines just as in case of GTK/Qt/Windows 
component set.
