The problem with just adding Sparkle is that WebKit.app isn't actually a
standalone app.  When you launch WebKit.app, you actually end up launching
whatever version of Safari is installed on your system.  We'd have to poke
around with Safari more than we already do, and doing so would cause even more
confusion about the differences between WebKit (the engine) and Safari (the
browser application).

The nightly.webkit.org site provides RSS feeds for the nightlies and you can
download them directly from your newsreader that way.  You can also use the
NightShift utility to somewhat automate the process as well.  I have a
semi-finished app that sort of combines the two concepts that (hopefully)
provides a better update experience, but I have not had much time recently to
work on it - I will try to find time for that soon.

That said, I'm marking this as WONTFIX per above.
