[webkit-dev] Upstreaming the Haiku port again

[pulkomandy]

Hello WebKit,

For about one year now I've been working on updating and improving the
Haiku port of WebKit. This was upstreamed once in 2010, but then went
unmaintained for a long time and was dropped from WebKit SVN.

We have learnt from this failure (I hope) and we are ready to do another
upstreaming attempt:
 * We are now using git instead of SVN, making it much easier to track
changes in WebKit and keep our port up to date (I'm merging changes
more or less every week)
 * I'm working full-time on this, as long as our users continue donating
enough money to the Haiku project to fund my work. So I can spend the
needed time keeping things working
 * We have switched from Jam to CMake, and we share most of the build
files with the other ports using CMake
 * We have allocated a machine to run a buildbot slave for WebKit

The current sources can be viewed at https://github.com/haiku/webkit (in
branch "rebased").

I would like to use the upstreaming as an opportunity to get the code
reviewed by other WebKit developers, and for this I plan to extract
patches from this source tree, and cut them in chunks of reasonable size
for review.

Do you see any problem with this? Should I start with setting up the
buildbot, or should I first start submitting patches? In the latter
case, is starting with Tools/Scripts the right thing to do?

https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/SuccessfulPortHowTo suggests patches should
be smaller than "20k". Is that bytes, lines of code, or some other unit?

Thanks,
