On Fedora, webkit-3 has been gone for some time.  I wrote this patch a while back, and it
allows things to compile, but I recall there is still some issue.  I'm not sure if it is
related to this patch or not.

https://github.com/greearb/hostap-ct/commit/718b9e09599c027ce250e8c7af4558570e923279

I just rebased my patches on top of upstream hostap, so we'll do some more tests
soon to see if we can figure out what does and does not work.

Thanks,
Ben
