I like the idea to have a platform free, standalone JSC.
It would make easier to maintain various ARM backends.
We don't need update-webkit*-libs at all for the
standalone JSC, it really depends only on ICU and LLVM.

I think it would be nice to avoid tying the Nix build to update-webkitgtk-libs,
since part of the stated goal is platform freedom.

Hello WebKittens,
JavaScriptCore use in non-OSX environment looks emerging[1].
In addition to that, sometimes, people would like to build
JavaScriptCore to see what is happning in JavaScriptCore development[2].
However, if you don't have an OSX machine, it is a little bit difficult.
One possible solution is GTK+ port, it is nice way to build JSC in Linux.
But it involves many dependencies (Mesa, glib etc.), that are not
necessary for JavaScriptCore and this is a barrier to join JSC
development from non OSX world.
The gtk port has several external dependencies as any other port and
indeed most of them are not needed for building JSC. However I don't see
those dependencies being a barrier, mainly because we build them using a
jhbuild environment, so even if your distro don't provide the required
dependencies you could build them with Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-libs.
Do you have issues doing that?
