------- Additional Comments from holo at rim.com
The proposed patch utilizes cmake's object library feature introduced in 2.8.8.
This patch provides the option for users to compile WebCore source files into
object files but does not link archive or link them into a library file.
Instead the object files may be included in other targets created by
add_library or add_executable by listing the object library as a source with
special syntax $<TARGET_OBJECTS:objlib>, where "objlib" is the object library
name (which in this case is webkit).

By doing this, webcore avoids having to link and thus reducing webkit build
time in general.
