Apologies for the multiple questions, but this process seems to have
presented a few problems for me:
Point 1. I don't know if this is the best way to do it but I would
have thought most people load the webkit project into VS 2005, and
then attempt to run safari and debug it. However the webkit project
cannot be loaded into VS 2005 without having already set
WEBKITLIBRARIESDIR. So I don't see how debug-safari precludes the
need to set WEBKITLIBRARIESDIR.
debug-safari sets the WEBKITLIBRARIESDIR environment variable just for
the VS process it launches.
Point 2. I don't know what value the system variable WEBKITOUTPUTDIR
should have and can't find any instructions online, can someone help?
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingOnWindows#BuildingfromwithinVisualStudio
explains this environment variable.
Pont 3. Running debug-safari in cygwin results in VS 2005 opening for
a second time even though I already have it opened with project code
loaded. This seems odd since I end up with two instances of VS 2005,
one with project code and one with safari.exe listed in the project
panel. Am I using the command incorrectly?
The script is behaving as expected.
Perhaps your confusion comes from not knowing that it is possible to
build WebKit without opening Visual Studio. The instructions that
start at <http://webkit.org/building/tools.html> take you from
installing Cygwin through building WebKit and running Safari, all
without opening Visual Studio. The debug-safari script is meant to
complement this workflow, by allowing Visual Studio to be launched
correctly for debugging Safari/WebKit without the user having
configured his/her environment for the WebKit VS project files.

Can anyone clarify the purpose of the script debug-safari?
Sure:
I loaded
the webkit project into VS 2005, built it using cygwin, launched
using
the script run-safari and then attached the safari process to the
project imported into VS 2005.
One step you didn't mention was setting the WEBKITOUTPUTDIR and
WEBKITLIBRARIESDIR environment variables prior to opening
WebKit.sln inside
Visual Studio.
The purpose of the script is to remove the need to perform these
actions
manually. With the script, the sequence is:
Run debug-safari
Place breakpoints
Press F5
I did not require the script debug-safari for this. Am I doing
something
wrong?
Nope, you're just duplicating manually the things the script does
automatically.
