To clarify further:

Yes, there is currently Mac-specific code in NetworkProcess as Mac was the port 
it was developed on and is currently the only client.  But a vast majority of 
the code is already cross-platform.

The Soup (EFL/GTK) effort is actually a very small amount of code and will be 
easy to get up-and-running *after* the CoreIPC stuff is resolved.

You may want to follow that specific bug and make sure Qt also gets its CoreIPC 
impl out of #ifdef hell.
