Do you have a patch for the changes required in WebKit? If the changes
are really worth it (fixes important bugs, etc.) and they are not that
much or they can be factored somehow, we can use the new api with
#ifdefs to avoid bumping the requirements. 

The general rule is to avoid bumping the requirements always if
possible.
