[webkit-dev] Linker error with cairo build on Windows

[Vijay D]

Thanks a lot Brent! That fixed the build problem for me, although I'm having
trouble running it with WinLauncher (I will look more into this later). Now
I'm trying Release build and its giving these errors with WebKit.dll:

5>WebKit_Cairo.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
SetWebLocalizedStringMainBundle
5>WebKit_Cairo.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
WebLocalizedLPCTSTR
5>WebKit_Cairo.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
WebLocalizedLPCTSTRUTF8
5>WebKit_Cairo.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
WebLocalizedString
5>WebKit_Cairo.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
WebLocalizedStringUTF8

I also have a few more follow up questions, if possible.

* The cairo build seems to be pretty complete now. I have seen many people
on the forum having success with it. Do you have an idea when it might be
merged onto trunk?
* For the patch I used, I had to add a couple more #ifdef SAFARI_INTERFACE
conditionals in the WebPreferences.cpp but I think that's because the patch
is a few days older.
* This is slightly unrelated but the WebKit.dll I build seems to be too big
(40MB+). It doesn't seem to matter much whether it is release or debug
build. Could it be because of the SVG features? I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Vijay
