[webkit-dev] Debugging inspector injected scripts

[Pavel Feldman]

devtools_frontend.zip is a quick and dirty way of hacking the front-end
without the need to fetch and build WebKit or Chrome. If you'd like to
apply changes to the backend (.cpp files), you need to follow WebKit (or
Chromium) build instructions.

Pavel
