The email you reference was written prior to WebKit being open- 
sourced.  At that time you would have required Apple's consent to  
redistribute the framework.  Now that it is open-source, it is  
permissible to do so.  I'm aware of several applications that bundle  
custom versions of WebKit -- OmniWeb and Sandvox being the most  
recognized of that group.

How are you specifying which framework to link against?  I believe  
you'll need to either add the directory containing  
{WebKit,WebCore,JavaScriptCore}.framework to Xcode's framework search  
path, or change the framework references to use absolute pathnames.   
If you're building using an SDK you may have slightly more issues, as  
I encountered some difficulty in making Xcode cooperate when doing  
this recently.
