I think you should try to enlist one of the longer-term WebKitGtk contributers
to help you with these patches.  You're hitting a lot of road-blocks at once. 
Much of that is likely due to uploading 15 "first time" patches at once.  So
you end up hitting similar combinations of starter-mistakes with each.  In this
case, Mark is asking for a re-architecture of how we do autogeneration.  That's
a little much to expect of a new contributer, but certainly possible. 
Especially if you engage other senior members of the project.

In this case, it may be too much to ask, because our auto-gen system is a pile
of ugly perl which several of us have wanted to re-write for years.  Eventually
one of us will get around to re-writting it in c++ or python.

I think it would be a relatively easy change to add some sort of
ALLOW_ARGUMENT_OVERLOADS or similar define which encapsulated !JAVASCRIPT and
GOBJECT.  That wouldn't involve re-writing the world, but it also wouldn't be
poluting our IDL files more.
