How do I call C++ functions in JavaScript with WebKit?

Question

I'm trying to write a native Windows (pre-Metro) application that is almost entirely HTML/JavaScript. Some googling seemed to indicate that the ways to do this were:

1. QtWebKit
2. WebKit
3. Have Internet Explorer render it.

I don't want Qt as a dependency, so that rules out 1. I need to write some native code (to interact with the OS), and make those functions available to be called in the JavaScript, so that rules out 3. But while it seems possible, I don't know how to do this in just WebKit.

Note: The build environment is Visual Studio, in case its relevant.

According to what you want to achieve, V8 is probably the best solution, have a look at a basic introduction
