[webkit-dev] WebKit and Windows/Cygwin

[Frank.Lautenbach at softechnics.com]

Apparently that's not what I want then. It is still curious that I can't
seem to build it under cygwin (as per the instructions.) Perhaps this is
due to the fact that after I got the source, the update command doesn't
succeed. It always fails at some point, so maybe the tree is not being
updated completely for a proper build. 

I did download the nightly build the other day and noticed that after
all was said and done, running it simply called Safari.exe (which I had
to install) and passed it a command line parameter pointing to the
downloaded webkit. I take it this is calling Safari and over-riding the
default engine Safari.exe was built with using the one referenced on the
command line. In other words, this allows for customization of
Safari.exe?

Thank you all for you patience with my newbie questions.

WebKit that works with Safari. On Windows, a WebKit that works with  
Safari for Windows.

Other ports include the Qt port and the GTK port.
