[webkit-dev] Moving WTF out of JavaScriptCore

[Osztrogonac Csaba]

Hi,

I uploaded the necessary buildfix for Qt to the bugzilla: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79783 .

Please be careful with moving JavaScriptCore/wtf to WTF, because we
need zillion trivial fixes for case sensitive file systems. (~4000 files!!!)

I made it locally to be able prepare the Qt buildfix and I had to replace all
"wtf" to "WTF includes everywhere. (*.cpp, *.h, *.y, *.py, *.pl, *.pm, ...)
The patch is huge, ~2Mb and ~4000 files are affected.

I suggest landing the following patches separately:
- Moving Sources/JavaScriptCore/wtf --> Sources/WTF
- s/wtf/WTF/g patch :)
- platform buildfixes

Please let me know if you have the new date for landing these patches. I
would be happier with a more CET timezone friendly timing. - 08:00-00:00 in CET.

br,
Ossy
