I think README.md more canonical than ReadMe.md. I would strongly suggest all uppercase.

Let's remove this.  See https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2017-February/028730.html

Is the \ after the . intentional?

> +If you don't use a custom build location in Xcode preferences, you have to update the workspace settings to use `WebKitBuild` directory.  In menu bar, choose File > Workspace Settings, then click the Advanced button, select âCustomâ, âRelative to Workspaceâ, and enter `WebKitBuild` for both Products and Intermediates.

We should probably avoid non-ascii characters.

We should probably avoid non-ascii characters.
