Comment:

 Here is some feedback for the attached patch:

 1) I'd like to have an enhanced commit message. At least the bug number
 should be a part.
 2) I heard there were snags (comment:19:ticket:19001) like the need for
 `apt-get install curl pkg-config libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev`. I hit that
 one, too. This should be handled in our `check-prerequisites.sh` script.
 3) Snowflake is not working:
 {{{

 available.

 }}}
 4) Is there really no way to avoid cluttering the disk with all that stuff
 to just build the webrtc part? Think about us builders who usually have a
 dev, hardened, alpha and stable tor-browser-bundle tree to get releases
 faster out.
