           Summary: [Gtk] Add a configuration option for disabling
                    unstable features in releases
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: zandobersek at gmail.com

As discussed in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87127 and later on IRC, there are occasions where the feature might be supported (more or less) completely by the Gtk port but is not ready for shipping in release versions due to incompleteness or instability (spec-wise). Two features that might fall under this categorization in the feature are perhaps those guarded by the ENABLE_GAMEPAD and ENABLE_MEDIA_STREAM defines.

To achieve this a configuration option should be added - when enabled (through build-webkit or manually) the features are enabled and compiled, when disabled (the default value, when compiling a release) the features are not included in the build.
