Thanks, that's just the kind of answer I was seeking. I won't yet
make a nightly build of webkit the system-wide default, but glad to
know such a thing is possible.
Thanks,
Dave

If you mean your default web browser, simply open prefs in either
Safari or Webkit, go to general, and choose webkit.app as your

If you actually mean the system-wide HTML rendering engine, you need
to replace the one installed with your OS with the one from the
Webkit binary. I'd advise against this however, as the results can
be unpredictable. Bare in mind that the Webkit svn builds are in a
state of constant change and that certain applications in OS X may
not cooperate well with some of the changes. You're not guaranteed
to have problems, but odd things can happen and the last thing you
want is to update your system-wide Webkit with a buggy build. At a
minimum if you really do wish to do this, make a backup of your
current webkit so that you can easily replace it if something does
go wrong.
