[webkit-dev] Problems building on Unix

[Mike Emmel]

I added a new patch to your bug.
With it I was  able to build and run yours did not make enough changes.

Also looks like the cmake stuff is checked in.
I'll work on getting it to work for gdk.

As long as its reasonable I'll probably maintain both build approaches.
