The current remote web inspector enablement is Mac OSX centric.  If someone wanted to extend it to the GTK, Windows, or EFL ports, there isn't a clean way to go about this as much of the remote inspector code assumes that it is being built for mac.

GTK/EFL has a different remote inspector method that uses web sockets.

Thanks for the follow up.  Whereabouts in the code base could I find that implementation?  It sounds like exactly what I want, but I just couldn't find it.

Never mind, I found it.  It's under Webkit2/UIProcess/InspectorServer

I was looking for the REMOTE_INSPECTOR enablement, and not the INSPECTOR_SERVER enablement.
