One of the things Apple did when they rejiggled KHTML into WebKit was
create an abstraction layer, KWQ, which let them implement the GUI
using Cocoa rather than Qt (as it is in KHTML on KDE). You will note
that WebKit has a number of other UI layers these days, including but
not limited to S60 (used in Nokia phones), I believe there was a GTK+
port at one point, and there may be an existing Windows port (I
haven't checked).

None of this means that Safari on Windows uses Cocoa ;o)
