patch

The proposed patch utilizes cmake's object library feature introduced in 2.8.8. This patch provides the option for users to compile WebCore source files into object files but does not link archive or link them into a library file. Instead the object files may be included in other targets created by add_library or add_executable by listing the object library as a source with special syntax $<TARGET_OBJECTS:objlib>, where "objlib" is the object library name (which in this case is webkit).

By doing this, webcore avoids having to link and thus reducing webkit build time in general.
