We switched the default build system to autotools yesterday. The build 
bot is offline while it gets some necessary updates.

The qmake build is no longer supported for WebKit/GTK+ (and produces 
incorrect installations). Please follow the updated build instructions at

   http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/webkit/wiki/BuildingGtk

It's been a surprising amount of work to switch build system in a 
project of this size and get developers used to the new setup. Thanks a 
to everyone who made this happen.
