[webkit-dev] Adding ENABLE_FLEXBOX to WebCore

[Ojan Vafai]

I don't think we want to ship this until we have a reasonably feature
complete implementation of the spec and that we're convinced the spec is
stable. I expect that in implementing this we'll find areas of the spec that
need reworking, but at this point it's mainly blocked on implementation
experience.

I'm not sure it's worth setting a bot up just for this, although I'm not
opposed to it. I expect we should have this shippable within a couple
months.
