I would like to remove report_webkit from our master branch before releasing v8.

I think we wont maintain it properly and i expect that this will create 
frustrations during the lifetime of v8.

None of our modules use it at all (none ever did actually). Now that the 
conversion from rml to qweb/wkhtml report is done, i consider that the default 
report system of v8 is superior to report_webkit.

It has all the advantages like the speed and html/css syntax, but it's much 
more modular and versatile. It supports as many layout as you want, images and 
view inheritance. The codebase is also smaller.

report_webkit was a source inspiration when we developed the v8 pdf report 
generation. And i would like to thanks its author Nicolas Bessi.

On github we already have 2 pull requests (PR) about it, i dont want my 
developers to spend time on code that is not used at all by any addons.

So report_webkit PR's will stay unprocessed and i dont think the module 
deserve that.

Would oca be motivated enough to take over the module to ensure proper 
maintenance.
