Another big potential dependency would be use of Platform.h and the ENABLE/USE/etc system of macros - I could easily see a new feature including special processing for a new URL scheme, similar to the way file: url's have slightly different parsing rules than http: urls.  In this case we'd want to wrap the special handling in ENABLE(feature).  (Arguably the url class should be flexible enough that you don't have to hardcode special handling for a scheme, though.)
