mind telling us which functionality is lacking?
Btw, did you notice the project is just a month old and we have
no release yet?

About the gtk dependency -> http://www.uzbl.org/faq.php
About the other concerns:
1) patches welcome
2) they are _EXAMPLE_ scripts. feel free to write posix sh alternatives
(hell, several or them are posix sh already but just have the wrong
shebang. it's just that noone corrected it yet)
3) Thanks for the kind words...
4) Last time I checked, I was not retarded.
