[webkit-qt] [announce] QtWebKit 2.2 tp1

[Dawit A]

There is already a compiling problem if you use the latest gcc 4.6.
Currently webkit/qtwebkit trunk fails to compile on my ArchLinux box
with the following compiler:

gcc (GCC) 4.6.0 20110415 (prerelease)

The error message I get is as follows:

I am sure the qtwebkit 2.2 tp branch will have the same fate since it
was branched from current trunk. Anyhow, I guess another defined is
needed for gcc >= 4.6.
