  The most likely cause of the problem is that cygwin uses 16-bit wide chars,
where linux has 32-bit ones.  How you solve that is going to depend on exactly
how deeply any assumptions about bit-ness of wchar_t is implicit in the webkit
code, if that does indeed turn out to be the case.

    cheers,
