Description Stephanie Lewis 2011-06-10 14:46:40 PDT 
The first page load takes longer on WebKit2 because we have to wait for the WebProcess to launch.  Add API to launch it preemptively if we'd like.

This should call a function on WebContext that matches the suffix of the API function call and the logic should be in WebContext.

> +WK_EXPORT void WKContextLaunchInjectedBundle(WKContextRef context);

This isn't a good name for this.  How about WKContextWarmInitialProcess(...).  I also think this should go in WKContextPrivate.h
