It sounds like there are three choices for whether the thirdparty directory would go: /ThirdParty /Sources/ThirdParty /Sources/WebCore/thirdpary My (vague!) understanding of the internal Apple build process is that it's painful to create new top-level directories that contain code needed turning the build. That would point to either "/Sources/ThirdParty" if/when we move WebCore into Sources or "/Sources/WebCore/thirdpary". However, given your message above (and my assumption that you know more about Apple's internal build process than I do), I suspect I'm mistaken. :) As an aside, would creating the Sources directory make it easier to move WTF out of JavaScriptCore?
