In case you want a list of files and dependencies needed to build JSC,
you can take a look on the CMake buildsystem (in this case, for the
EFL platform).

Source/JavaScriptCore/CMakeLists.txt
Source/JavaScriptCore/PlatformEfl.cmake

I'm not aware of any other documentation of how to create a new WebKit
port. Maybe checking on the SVN history (e.g. look for patches of the
EFL port upstreaming) might help.
