[webkit-dev] Not enough space message when linking webkit (lots of free disk space)

[Eric Seidel]

SVG gets such a bad wrap. :)  Wouldn't breaking WebCore into smaller
libraries fix these linker problems longer-term?  For example,
breaking out platform into a .a, or the JS bindings?  I guess we'd
have to make them .dylib instead of .a if we wanted to actually make
the linker happier.
