 That was my request to you and webkit developers if you read our discussion with Michael above. Is it possible to include the build scripts of the libraries in the release build on the webkit website. That saves life since different versions change the requirements and versions and it is very hard to follow them in order to build.Something similar to the build of the cmake package and it downloads or contains the required packages and bootstraps or builds them.
