[webkit-qt] WebKit + v8 in trunk

[Morten Sylvest Olsen]

Thanks, 

Depending on Qt 5 is not that big a problem for me. I'm assuming the goal for Qt 5 is still what is outlined in https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com//browse/QTBUG-12502, with V8 as the primary JS engine used both for QML and WebKit ?

Current trunk builds with V8 if you're using Qt 5 and disable WebKit2 (modulo
one tiny patch in the v8 bindings due to a V8 API difference).

I'm not aware of any other combination that works.

If you (or anyone else) would like to make Qt 5's QtV8 library a standalone
module that compiles & works with Qt 4, then it would be easy to add Qt 4
to the mix in WebKit/V8. It would be most welcome :)
