           Summary: should make plugin process debugging easier
                    (PLUGIN_PROCESS_CMD_PREFIX)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2

I'd like to add support for PLUGIN_PROCESS_CMD_PREFIX environment variable to make debugging easier (on a debug build). Then you could do 
   PLUGIN_PROCESS_CMD_PREFIX="xterm gdb --args" MiniBrowser url/to/something/with/plugins
and end up debugging the right process without tracking forks and all that.

This would be similar to WEB_PROCESS_CMD_PREFIX implemented by a couple of ports (which we should maybe move to non-port specific files as well, but that's another bug).
