[webkit-help] Question regarding the porting of webkit

[Leander Bessa Beernaert]

I've looked at the WinCE port, and from what i can tell is that webkit by
it self is fully functional, and only requires re-implementing the modules
we which to override. Is this assumption correct?

PhantomJS is close to what i want to achieve, thanks for the reference.

Regards,

Leander
