Enough of this libwebrtc.dylib nonsense. It isn't worth having a complicated production build system that only one person understands.

I believe that there are Apple-internal reasons for libwebrtc being a dylib, seen in <rdar://problem/30470169&30470847>.

I would do that if we cannot upstream the WEBRTC_DYLIB_EXPORT changes to libwebrtc. Given where we are, I do not have a strong opinion, although that would simplify the build system which is a good thing. Also, if we are doing so, the webcore binary size will increase a bit. Some code would be removed like webrtAvailable check.

We need to discuss the Apple-internal implications (not in these bug comments, but Apple-internally) before we make the call on this.
