[webkit-dev] Why are the mock implementations in WebCore/platform?

[Adam Barth]

Originally, I thought it made sense to mock out pieces of the platform
abstraction that didn't exist in all ports (e.g., GPS sensors).  I'm
not sure why you'd want to mock out a client interface.  Can't you
just implement the client interface in DRT?
