Currently the databases are hardcoded to the location specified by the XDG spec (~/.local/share + webkit/databases). The client application should be able to set this to a different location.

Roger. I even left a FIXME comment in webkit_init stating this :-)

Hi Mark. Just wondering where you think is the best place to put this? Are we going to allow client-side applications to change database locations dynamically or just when the application starts? I was thinking of webkitsettings but that depends on how flexible the API would be.
