From a quick look it seems somewhat useless, they've focused on their

midori.
They're also using some snapshot version.

I dunno if you'll get better results with gtk+, a full ARM target image
is ~270 MB with X11-modular and matchbox.

At this point in time what i've got is a PoC qemu test image, the
packaging and cleanup part is going along - however feature-wise it's
still very lacking.
