           Summary: [WIN][CAIRO][REGRESSION] Windows/Cairo port was deleted
                    in r23462
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: alp at atoker.com


The Windows/Cairo port suffered a major regression in r23462 when it was
(inadvertently?) removed from SVN in revision 23462. This is a blocker for
continued development of the Windows/Cairo port.

I'm not sure if the Win port has been actively maintained in the last few weeks
but the Cairo and Curl backends which the port uses are rapidly improving so it
may be sensible to restore this code.

Can we do this without losing the SVN history of the port and without causing
much hassle for the new Win port? We may need to look into a new naming
convention for the (original) port in order not to disrupt the new one. It will
also be worth seeing how much code can be shared between the two Windows ports
once the original work is restored.
