Hi, i think it would be awesome to be able to build for the webkit gtk port on linux too.

I'll give it a try, i am very interested in this project for several reasons:

better cross-platform support compared to v8
JavascriptCore has better memory management and cleaner architecture, using llvm instead of its own cooked jit assembler.
webkitgtk has way better release process and support, in comparison v8 is a mess

thinking about it, nodejs on debian could really benefit from using v8like. Maintaining security patches for libv8 being time-consuming.
