[webkit-qt] how to shrink distribution, if possible?

[Richard Gerd Kuesters]

Konstantin,

Thanks again, and a lot! I'll try to compile Webkit 2.3, ICU aside will 
decrease in 20Mb my app :)

My best regards,
Richard.

It would be awesome to provide a barely minimal and downsized package for mobile clients (which I'm now focused), as an example.

Depending on target audience of your application, you may want to remove data for some locales - look into ICU documentation how to prepare custom .dat file. There may also be kinds of data unused by WebKit - maybe currencies or timezones, though I don't know for sure.
