[wpe-webkit] Debugging options with wpewebkit

[Adrian Perez de Castro]

Hello again Aras,

I noticed that you forgot to keep the mailing list in copy, so I have added
it again — it is nice to have the reply with your solution also archived for
future reference :)

Glad to know that it is working for you now. That's great.

Ah, somehow I did not notice that you were already using Cog. You are right,
and using a configuration file is indeed much easier because then you don't
need to edit any source code.

With Cog there's also command line options which have the same names, so
this also works:

  # WEBKIT_INSPECTOR_SERVER='127.0.0.1:8000' cog \
      --enable-write-console-messages-to-stdout=true \
	  --enable-developer-extras=true ${URL}

Of course the configuration file is more convenient if you are setting many
options — I just want to make you know that the command line options are
available as well :)

Cheers,

-Adrián
