Ubuntu 24 switched from libwebkit2gtk-4.0 to libwebkit2gtk-4.1...

Resulting in the GUI not starting up anymore with an: dsl-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now, that clearly is Ubuntu's fault, but there is no legacy libwebkit2-4.0.so.37 for Ubuntu24 that can be easily installed so this issue might come up more often in the future. Any idea how to best handle that?

There are now additional builds using GTK4 and WebKitGTK 6.0. Hopefully, this is enough to support all distributions that no longer include WebKit2GTK 4.0.
