hmm, there's also the jsc binary, I guess that even conflicts with any
other WebKit port, doesn't qtwebkit install a jsc binary as well? For
the library I guess we could renamed it as libjavascriptcore2gtk as the
javascriptcore library of webkit2.

I don't think it's needed, webkitgtk-3.0 is the base include dir of the
package that contains a different directory for every API layer WebKit,
WebKit2 and JavaScriptCore.
