Attention: trunk KHTML and KJS are -frozen-

As of today please consider trunk KHTML and KJS frozen for (up to) the next 4
days so that we can stabilize it. (At least most of) the KHTML developers
are already aware that we have been working on converting KHTML to work with
JavaScriptCore in a separate branch of kdelibs. This work is roughly
complete and we need to merge back to avoid forking too far, and it get
regression testing back in order. This weekend I (and hopefully a couple
others) will work on merging the khtml and kjs changes into the kdelibs-js
branch, and then dump the whole kjs and khtml subdirectories back into trunk.
Don't be surprised if any changes during that period are lost, or that khtml
is slightly unstable for a day or two.
For those curious, this will be, if I'm not mistaken, the largest "safari
merge" to date and brings us very close to the point where we can share a
common KJS codebase. After we have merged everything, we can more easily
start pulling snapshots of JavaScriptCore until we're completely caught-up.
I have CVS commit access to webkit which will help facilitate the merging of
our KJS patches upstream. khtml/ is only indirectly affected at this time.
I'll post more on the future of KJS as the details are worked out.
