[webkit-gtk] Win32 program for webkit-gtk cannot start on Windows XP

[Phil Longstaff]

Here's the command I used:

mingw32-configure \
    --prefix=/opt/webkit-1.1.90-mingw \
    --enable-debug \
    --disable-channel-messaging \
    --disable-offline-web-applications \
    --disable-dom-storage \
    --disable-eventsource \
    --disable-ruby \
    --disable-video \
    --disable-xpath \
    --disable-svg-animation \
    --disable-filters \
    --disable-svg-fonts \
    --disable-svg-foreign-object \
    --disable-svg-as-image \
    --disable-svg-use \
    --with-unicode-backend=icu \
    --with-target=win32
