I know, in fact the Haiku port was already upsreamed once in 2010 and removed again 2 years later for lack of maintenance.

All I have to offer is 7 past years of work rebasing and keeping our port up to date. I did not attempt any upstreaming efforts on my own because I knew I wouldn't have time for it. Now that Pascal is helping, it seems more reasonable.

Being mainly a volunteer driven project, it's unlikely that we will have 3 full time developers for webkit anytime soon. That doesn't mean we aren't committed to keeping this port alive and up to date.

I think it makes sense to start with a jsc-only port in any case. So let's do that (if it's ok on webkit side) and we can discuss the next steps later?
