OK nice, I'm glad to hear I'm not crazy with this idea. I had never
heard of Clutter, but it sounds quite cool (man there are so many cool
open source projects out there...but not enough time to play with them
all.)

I think it might be nice to make a sort of "policy" of this for
smaller ports, and have some sort of project infrastructure for it.
Maybe I will create a patch for the web-site to describe this idea and
list the various repos if other people agree this is a good idea for
we smaller ports. Also it might be nice to have a "how to port WebKit"
page based on all our experiences with it.
