I've done that once, for an earlier gtkwebkit version. (Can't release
code, as it was done for a client.) You may want to check
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81456 for some hints I provided
for Darxus.

So you'll need to change the autoconf/automake files a bit, use the
dummy NPAPI implementation and check that all uses of plugins behave
properly.

You'll probably also need to see whether PlatformScreenGtk.cpp works
properly with the modified build flags. It used to call gdk_x11_FOO()
for me. Could be fixed in 1.8.0 but haven't looked recently.
