that's already the case, but just used during development. Traditionally
webkit produces couple of static libraries (.a) such as javascript,
webcore... then link them all into the resulting dynamic library
libwebkit-port.so (names vary).

with webkit-efl we have the "shared-core" concept that just creates dynamic
libraries for everything. Then if you just modify the top level layer
(webkit-efl) the underlying (js, webcore) are untouched. This comes with a
runtime penalty, but works for development
