> I discovered this issue while trying to support plugins to EFL's WK2. In the past I prepared such patch which works with/without plugin process. In the past there was no problem but now NetscapePluginModuleX11.cpp uses structs and functions which are defined only when PLUGIN_PROCESS is on.

Why do you think you are not allowed to change on this? If there are stuff necessary to build plugin code but not belongs to plugin process, you can fix the guards and make them independent from plugin process. Why don't you upload a patch that fix this?
However, I wonder why would you disable plugin process. One of the biggest advantages of WebKit2 is stability, but you virtually lose this as soon as you load a plugin into the UI process. I don't expect that it's hard to port it to EFL, given that it's already a cross-platform feature.
