First welcome to WebKit :)

I am sure there is a better use of your time than fixing the coding style.

A side project of mine is improving and cleaning some of WebKit testing
infrastructure. There are some fairly easy tasks related to that if you are
interested.
I am sure others will have ideas of easy things to do to get started.

For your build/run issues, it will be easier to ask on IRC #webkit than on
the mailing list.
