           Summary: [EFL] Remove non-variable options from the build
                    system
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit EFL
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: laszlo.gombos at webkit.org

Some cmake variables - that are only used in the EFL specific part of the build system - are constants. As an example the WTF_USE_ICU_UNICODE cmake variable is only used in the EFL build system and for EFL it is always set to 1. The EFL port does not allow WTF_USE_ICU_UNICODE to be anything other than 1 (otherwise the port would probably not even build).

I find it confusing to have variables for things that can not be changed. I think it make the build system code more readable if we remove these variables.
