Hello,
At the Qt Contributor summit, we discussed about the future of WebKit2
living in the new scenegraph world.
Simon did a patch to start that integration:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62969
The patch is now updated and the plan is to get it in a state that can
be landed, and then improve on top of it to get the best rendering
performance.
Once this land, Qt 5 and QtDeclarative will be needed to build WebKit2.
If you want to work on WebKit2, you probably want to get Qt 5 :)
The instructions to get Qt 5 are here:

In practice for WebKit2, you only need the following submodules: qtbase,
qtscript, qtsvg qtxmlpatterns-staging, qtdeclarative (+its submodule: v8).
cheers,
Benjamin
