Another approach would be to do the polling only on win and mac platforms (#if
PLATFORM(WIN)...). So the GTK+ port wouldn't be affected, as webkitgtk apps use
a glib mainloop in most (all?) cases.

BTW I tested the polling on my laptop and couldn't really notice a difference
in terms of CPU usage, apart from the obvious overhead of wakeups :)
