[webkit-qt] Rebasing QtWebKit 2.0 on current trunk?

[Dawit A]

Hello,

If I might chime in here as well... I too second this because of issues 
providing patch for upstream issues. For example, 
https://bugs.webkit.org/b/34539 shows how upstream code clean up affects 
patches provided to fix problems based on qtwebkit-2.0. That is only one 
example, but time after time patches created for qtwebkit-2.0 are not cleanly 
applicable to trunk for me at least...

Thanks,
Dawit A.
