webkit-gtk 1.10.1_0 fails to build: missing dependency libsoup-2.4 >= 2.39.2

[ewen-naos-nz (Ewen McNeill)]

webkit-gtk was ​ just bumped to 1.10.1 by change 99154 (about an hour ago). At least on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) it fails to build with this log message:

[...]
:info:configure checking for LIBSOUP... no
:info:configure configure: error: Package requirements (libsoup-2.4 >= 2.39.2) were not met:
:info:configure 
:info:configure Requested 'libsoup-2.4 >= 2.39.2' but version of libsoup is 2.38.1
:info:configure 
:info:configure Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
:info:configure installed software in a non-standard prefix.
:info:configure 
:info:configure Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBSOUP_CFLAGS
:info:configure and LIBSOUP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
:info:configure See the pkg-config man page for more details.

:error:configure org.macports.configure for port webkit-gtk returned: configure failure: command execution failed

The root cause seems to be that it needs libsoup-2.4 version 2.39.2 or later. MacPorts currently only has libsoup 2.38.1 packaged:

ewen@bethel:~$ port search libsoup
libsoup @2.38.1 (gnome, net)
    Soup is an HTTP library implementation in C.
ewen@bethel:~$

so would both need the new version packaged, and a dependency added to the webkit-gtk port.

Exactly the same under Mountain Lion (10.8.2).

Whoops. I forgot to commit that, but someone else did.
