[webkit-dev] WinCairo Maintainers

[Alex Christensen]

It is quite nice to be able to build everything completely from source in one place.  This allows Windows software distributors to have more control over PlatformToolsets to reduce the need for distributing multiple merge modules.  Some companies also have policies that they can only distribute software that they built completely from source.

If you fork it and add fixes, then yours would become the best maintained repository of those requirements.  I think it would be great if you did this.
