With the patches I have landed, combined with the four patches awaiting
review on https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27323 , I have been able
to successfully check out WebKit inside Chromium using the depot_tools (not
Cygwin) SVN; update it; prepare, create, apply, unapply, and submit patches;
and build WebKit cleanly and run Safari with it.

Therefore, once those four patches land (might be a little while, one may
cause problems for Apple folks), I claim that this setup is finally ready
for Windows developers to use.  There are still a few rough edges (creating
patches to files that don't have svn:eol-style set may result in patches
that don't apply/unapply cleanly, due to an apparent SVN bug; I haven't
tested all the scripts [e.g. bugzilla-tool], just the ones I use), but by
and large things work.
