Its enough if that is done as part of the script that creates the initial environment for flatpak

Working with the new flatpak environment instead of jhbuild should require no extra or different arguments to any of the scripts, but the one to intialize&build third-party.


* With jhbuild we build third-party as follows:

  $ Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-libs

And then we run all the other scripts (build-webkit, run-tests, etc) without passing any extra arguments. That scripts are smart enough to detect the JHBuild third-party dir has been initialized and they use it.

* So, for the new flatpak environment we need something like:

  $ Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-flatpak (or any other name you wish)

And then all the scripts should detect that has been initialized and proceed to use flatpak
