[webkit-dev] Windows build error during link

[Brent Fulgham]

Great news!  I'm glad you got things working.  We should probably  
mention something on the wiki about this so others don't suffer the  
same fate.

Good luck with the rest of the build!  Are you building the Windows  
Safari DLL, or trying out the redistributable Windows Cairo version?
