I'm going to propose a pull request to unblock this, but I have a question. In webkitWebContextCreatePageForWebView, we need to take many settings from the related view's configuration, because this is an API guarantee. Presumably the new API::Configuration object is expected to match the related view, so it's probably not a problem, but this does mean we won't respect all of the values set in the API::Configuration in case they are different for some reason. Specifically:

    pageConfiguration->setProcessPool(context->priv->processPool.get());
    pageConfiguration->setPreferences(webkitSettingsGetPreferences(webkit_web_view_get_settings(webView)));
    pageConfiguration->setRelatedPage(relatedView ? &webkitWebViewGetPage(relatedView) : nullptr);
    pageConfiguration->setUserContentController(userContentManager ? webkitUserContentManagerGetUserContentControllerProxy(userContentManager) : nullptr);
    pageConfiguration->setControlledByAutomation(webkit_web_view_is_controlled_by_automation(webView));

All those will get overridden. I *assume* this is OK.
