[webkit-help] Deploying WebKit

I am using WebKit .NET <http://sourceforge.net/projects/webkitdotnet> 
using C#. I want to develop a Windows Desktop application I can 
distribute to others. I want to have a clear understanding of how WebKit 
will be deployed. I am not asking for details of how to do it. For the 
moment I will assume that Visual Studio will do most or all of what I 
need done automatically.

My understanding is that I will need to distribute all the WebKit DLL 
files and relevant files that WebKit needs along with my application and 
that they will all exist in the same location as my program. That means 
that if any other application in a system uses WebKit then we will all 
have separate copies of WebKit. Am I correct so far? I looked at the 
wiki and such and I do not see anything that makes that clear.

I realize that WebKit is still in a beta status. Is it a possibility 
that in the future at least, WebKit will be able to be installed as a 
product that other products can share? I would prefer to do that.

The main reason I want to clarify these issues now is because, as I 
understand things, I must copy all the WebKit DLL files and relevant 
files that WebKit needs into each of my development directories for 
development purposes for using WebKit .NET 
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/webkitdotnet>. I can do that but I 
would prefer to install WebKit into my system if that is possible. I 
mainly want to eliminate the installation of WebKit into my system as a 
possibility.
