According to the response to the compiler bug submitted in comment #4, it seems
that Microsoft recognizes but cannot fix that compilation issue for VS2010. The
full reply can be read there.

Be it sooner or later, it will be necessary to fix this in some way for VS2010
compilation to work. The bug specifically involves the use of a 0 literal in
the std::pair constructor, and can be worked around using the new nullptr
keyword (which is not compatible with any non-C++0x compiler) or by casting the
literal explicitly. The latter seems like the obvious solution, and as this
issue is holding back Qt and other software from compiling under VS2010, that
minor fix would be better sooner than later.

I would appreciate if someone in a better position to build webkit were to look
into patching that, but if not, I will do so when time permits.
