[webkit-gtk] WebKitGTK+ 2.12.0 released!

[Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia]

It's been building in MacPorts for the past few months.  We fixed a ton of OS X issues in webkit-gtk during 2.11.x.  As discussed in multiple locations already, this is a HomeBrew + SIP issue.  You can't pass DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to system executables; it will be ignored.  /usr/bin/env and /usr/bin/python are system executables.  HomeBrew can address this by using their own python as gir's interpreter.
