. . . except I'm not "disabling random features." I didn't want database
support, because I see no need to bloat my particular webkitgtk. So I
explicitly disabled it, and left everything else at the defaults ('cept for
using pango for fonts, rather than the default).

Sure, maybe testing with "every possible combination" of flags would be time
consuming, but in this case it's irrelevant -- there's simply lots of missing
code, regardless of flags chosen.

I still consider this a "blocker", because if webkitgtk can't be built without
database support, then it shouldn't be a configurable option. One less way for
packagers and distributors to hurt themselves and their users.
