Mozilla provides a library that I believe yelp uses.
imho yelp should be ported to use something distributed as a library and
not as a web browser (or the library from mozilla should be distributed
as a library)

With respect to evolution, I've done plenty of installs without it - but
there are some apps that I think use components of evolution that will
pull it in if you select it.
