hm - I (and probably others) use the HTML widget in the print composer 
quite a lot. It is the only way to have richer content in print 
composer. Not a good move to just compile without Webkit and there is no 
good replacement. It would cause me troubles. Can't we package and ship 
Webkit ourselves along with QGIS, if it really is a problem for 2.14?
