What’s the oldest version of OS X that WebKit 2.7 will build on/for? It looks like its CFLAGS include -std=c++11, so perhaps nothing earlier than 10.7 unless it can be made to work with gcc-4.8, which would have to be built separately from gtk-osx.

Good question. In light of that, should I perhaps keep the old WebKit 1.x module intact, and instead add a new one for webkitgtk 2.x? I might have to add a new one anyway since webkitgtk 2.x has discontinued the old WebKit 1 single-process API, and a lot of apps still depend on it. How about two new modules named webkit1gtk and webkit2gtk?

Yes, I think that would be wise.

How about just “webkit” and “webkit2” so that app modulesets don’t break gratuitously?
