[webkit-help] Help with compilation

[Fred Lee]

Dear Ram,

I have done this before for one of the TV Box projects.

I think you can't just copy the X11 headers to make all things compile.

My approach is to redefine some X11 basic types that needed for NPAPI in 
my project headers. In such case, we don't need to change any line of 
code in Webkit and also we can have our own plugin implementation.

However, some how u need to have a display system which allow the 
browser and your plugin to draw on the screen at the same time.

Best Regards,

Fred
