Week 08 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1 and v2.1.x)

QtWebKit-2.1 still has bugs blocking the release, so it'll take a while for it to be considered a release-candidate again. QtWebKit-2.1.x had a far amount of crash fixes and is moving, but the release date is not in the horizon yet.

Some people may have noticed that we already have meta-bugs for QtWebKit-2.2 (critical and non-critical). QtWebKit-2.2 development will happen on trunk for a couple more months before we create the stable branch and start making cherry-picks and weekly releases, so these meta-bugs are just for prioritization at the moment.

Finally, just to reinforce what already has been said in the past: the QtWebKit-2.1 versions (2.1.0 and 2.1.x) are internal Nokia releases and will not be supported or officially tested on desktop environments. QtWebKit-2.2, on the other hand, will be supported on all Qt platforms and will be included in the next version of the Qt bundle, so expect a much clear and transparent process on the development and stabilization of this version.
