There's still interest in building development builds without using build-webkit. One use case provided by Carlos is using custom jhbuild module.

This was, however, recently made impossible as the feature defines listed in Source/WebCore/GNUmakefile.features.am.in are in process of having their values adjusted to represent values intended for release builds. Development values for feature defines are again tracked by the FeatureList.pm, used solely by build-webkit.

This means that development builds are now only possible by using build-webkit due to the release build values being overridden only when autogen.sh is run by build-webkit (as the latter outputs the development-oriented feature define list that is then used by the Tools/gtk/override-feature-defines, which performs the overriding).
