Kinda. It does not really introduce a separate build system. It just changes
how the linking happens. All the file lists are the same. About different
behavior: debug buils are already heavily different in behavior, specially
where performance is concerned. Having said that, I am also a bit uneasy about
introducing different linkage rules for Debug builds, but given the amount of
time it saves in incremental builds, I think it may be worth a try.

I plan to also get rid of the libWebCoreJS, and do something to
libJavaScriptCore - specially because we would like to have it shipping as a
separate library - and maybe that would give us the same amount of benefits,
regarding link time, but *shrug*.
