[webkit-dev] Patch to use V8 engine with Gtk port

[Adam Barth]

My two cents are that you can pick the priorities for your own
contributions.  If you think this work is more important than working
on LayoutTests, I think that's your decision to make as a contributor
to the project.

I have some technical questions, but we can discuss those on the bug.
