Description:

Currently, emacs is not built with xwidgets support, one of the most interesting new features of emacs-25.1. It would be great if arch built with this option enabled. You must have gtk3 and webkitgtk3 installed for it to work.
This task depends upon

I'm not sure, if we should add this feature. Because it will bring in another dependency and most Users won't use it.

It is one of the highlights of the 25.1 release notes so people will want to try it. Me wanting to try it and discovering it doesn't work is what lead me to this report.
