No. Both Cygwin and Visual Studio/VC++ Express are required.

- How are "build-webkit script", "|set-webkit-configuration| script" and |"update-webkit| script" needed? Are they needed to be run before any compilation?

You must run update-webkit and build-webkit in order to install various dependencies that are required to build WebKit. set-webkit-configuration should not be required.

- What is the difference in the SOURCE from nightly code location (http://nightly.webkit.org/) and SOURCE from (http://nightly.webkit.org/files/WebKit-SVN-source.tar.bz2 <http://nightly.webkit.org/files/WebKit-SVN-source.tar.bz2>) that is updated every 6 hours. The SOURCE from the 2 different locations are significantly different in sizes, 16 MB as compared to 700 MB in the tar.bz2 file. Also, these two are different from the SVN checkout of source from the trunk

I think the larger file is a working SVN checkout (i.e., it includes all the .svn directories), while the smaller one is essentially the output from "svn export".

- I am unable to open the WebKit sln project located at the below location
.......\WebKit-r70732\WebKit\win\WebKit.vcproj
because VS 2005 complains that it can't open 5 project folders (JavascriptCore, Webcore etc...) as part of the project. Do I need to get a licensed version of VS to execute Webkit solution.

You should be able to ignore those warnings.

- Is there a basic skeleton of Webkit code that we can use as a start to port to a newer embedded platform? Currently WebKit has all code for all platform with several graphics projects. I want a basic skeleton code to start with with all optional packages and code stripped out.

I don't think there's an easy way to get just the source code that is used by a particular port.
