Yes. That's unfortunate and it was unexpected. The blame isn't on you  
but rather on the missing part of the release process where we don't  
test the resulting windows binary at all...

Yes, but I guess that's the current way to at least get back into a  
working version. I propose we revert back to webkit, and in order to  
distinguish the newly working windows build from the broken 2.3.9  
build we already switch to a release version 2.3.10.

You can revert, increase the version number, and tag right away (I'm  
away from SVN access currently).
