My patch set is similar to yours.

I basically disable everything unless I really need it.  Since I want to use 
webkit as an embedded html engine to replace gtkhtml, I don't need lots of 
fancy additions.

I tried adding CFLAGS=-fshort-wchar and CXXFLAGS=-fshort-wchar in order to 
avoid the UChar/gunichar2 problem in EditorClientGtk.cpp, but it didn't seem o 
help.

Did you build your own version of icu?  The one I downloaded is for MSVC9 and 
has just .def and .lib files.  The mingw32 linker isn't happy.
