You need to install CMake and the same tools listed at 
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WinCE#Build and 
http://www.webkit.org/building/tools.html (but without cygwin).

Is it possible to get a (detailed) list of requirements? It's hard for people 
don't knowing the internal Apple build process to work on it.

Why isn't it possible to checkout only the Source directory?
Since the current system has more than 1 VS solution too, I don't think it will 
be a problem to have more than one "root CMakeLists.txt" too.

Is there a interest in getting rid of the Visual Studio files? Are there any 
points agains CMake we know already? I don't want to put (much) work into the 
CMake files for a simple "No, thanks" at the end. ;-)
