Thank, Alp, for the update. Feel free to send here informations about
milestones or important changes, they're always welcome.

I'll roll up a new upload of an up-to-date webkit in a couple weeks,
when I'll be done with xulrunner 1.9beta4 and iceweasel 3.0beta4 packaging.

Also, FYI, we're going to remove the qtwebkit package and have it
built from what is bundled with Qt releases.
