I don't think linking against the Apple's support libraries is a
violation of of the LGPL's spirit or word by any reading.
Anyone who wants a Windows WebKit port for commercial use is best off
using GTK+, Wx or helping out with the new Cairo-based Win32 port (or
using the browser in Qt if they already have a commercial Qt license).
Some examples of commercial Windows apps using WebKit (to the best of my
knowledge):
http://www.synctv.com/ (GTK+)
http://www.digsby.com/ (Wx)
The only obligation these companies are under is to give back their
changes to WebKit.
