Memory leak detection is a recurrent topic on webkit-dev but at present there exists only support for the Mac leaks tool.  

This meta-bug is to track work required to 
1) launch the DRT under valgrind to generate a xml file with details of leaks found
2) to parse this file and display leak results
3) update the valgrind suppressions file(s)
4) raise bugs for known memory leaks/violations.

A work-in-progress patch will be uploaded shortly.
