[webkit-dev] Building on Windows: WebKitSupportLibrary.zip is incomplete

[Artem Ananiev]

Hi, Adam,

indeed, I have missed this step. After running the update-webkit script 
(and passing some additional flags to curl to work via proxy), it seems 
all the required files are in WebKitLibraries directory. I will proceed 
with building WebKit.

Thanks,

Artem
