Hi,
ANGLE looks like a graphics helper library. Why it is placed in the root WebKit directory? Perhaps WebCore/platform/graphics or some kind of /3rparty directory would be better, wouldn't it?
ANGLE is a library from Google (http://code.google.com/p/angleproject/) which is mirrored in the WebKit tree for convenience. Since it's not actually part of WebKit, it was felt that keeping it the root was best.
/3rdparty/ANGLE would be more straightforward in my opinion. Having this in the root is deceptive, personally I did not realized that it is a mirrored tree before your explantation.
I'm surprised it isn't pulled as a .zip like the other third-party libraries (like icu, libxml, etc.) through the update-webkit script. -Darin
