Yeah, I was indeed working on webkit-efl. :)

We have discussed a lot in the past days and I guess we've achieved
the point where we have both CMake native and non-native building. As
we already agreed on IRC the other day, it's not possible to have a
unique recipe for building both. In fact, non-native is much more
complicated than it seems at first. I couldn't even make the actual
2.6.4 recipe (already in the repository) work.

David, could you please send your CMake updated patches to the list?

Best Regards, Etrunko.
