The windows version of QtWebKit is very new and hasn't received a lot of 
attention.  I haven't event built it yet as I don't have a working windows 
machine.

BTW, Simon/Lars, what is the plan for the buildbots now that Zack has left?  
Are you guys planning on providing a windows buildbot?  Perhaps we can host 
host some buildbots at SCS...

No, there are no more stable branches.

I have no idea whether the windows version of QtWebKit is 'utterly unstable', 
but I wouldn't describe the linux version that way at this point.

Yes, this is the correct forum for these types of questions.  And of course 
when it actually builds please report any bugs to the bugzilla or even better 
patches :)

Cheers,
