I think clutter-glx-1.0 is better. Libraries using other backends
should be packaged to respective packages. Do you think we should
package libraries work with other backends into this single package
too?  Most program, like Anjal, needs clutter-glx only so depends on
clutter-glx is quite simple and straightforward. Also shipping more
shlibs in one package would make it take more space than necessary
when running on devices with limited storage (such as netbooks, which
clutter is designed for).

Only Webkit now. No other package. I'm in talk with Anjal developers
to see if we can bring his webkit patch upstream.

Thank you.
