> To expand on this, if we want to ship a version of leveldb to downstream, we probably need to bundle it in the ThirdParty directory. My plan for today was to only do this for memenv, but if you feel that it's important to do this for all of leveldb, I can write a patch that does that too.

Yes. This is what I was saying in email as well: The people building operating systems are likely to strangle us if we tell them that building webkit requires a modified 3rd party project.

I vote for bundling memenv code and relying on jhbuild/distro for leveldb. I'll write to leveldb upstream just to check that this is a sane idea and what they intended memenv to be used for (that's what I assume) -- let me know if you happen to have confirmed this already or know the code well enough that this is not needed. 

I'll also try to get an install target in the Makefile and a pc file included in there so we wouldn't have to patch in future. I'll CC you guys.
