> As GTK port did, WebCore of EFL port should be spitted into several library instead of a big one, otherwise the libWebCore.a will be too big to archive. As GTK trunk at 137102, the idea is the following:

r137102 was for chromium gardening patch.

It seems to me below revisions are for splitting into more smaller one.

>  - libwebcore_efl contains only the files using efl (was in PlatformEfl.cmake)
>  - libwebcore_modules contains only the files under Modules
>  - libwebcore_platform contains only the files under platform
>  - libwebcore_svg contains only the files under svg, rendering/svg, derived SVG files and other SVG files(there are some svg related files under css loader and platform)
>  - libwebcore contains all other the webcore files

Basically, I don't wanna object to divide into small libraries. But, AFAIK, SHARED_CORE build option is to reduce linking time as well. Why not adjust this splitting into existing SHARED_CORE option ? BTW, could you share how much linking time we can reduce when using this dividing library ?
