Description Brent Fulgham 2008-03-12 10:50:31 PDT 
A recent build failure (see http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17797) occurred because the project files did not explicitly reference the necessary core libraries needed to produce a valid Windows executable.

This was missed because Visual Studio's project inheritance behavior caused the project to incorporate the needed libraries by default.

I'm not sure if there is any good way to work around this problem (aside from using vsprops files as we are doing more and more), but I am filing this bug to document the issue.
