-NOTE: We have disabled our use of these external dependencies, for now, because
-they will fail for anyone using gclient to check out the skia code.  (As of
-early 2011, gclient passes --ignore-externals when calling svn update.)  See
-http://code.google.com/p/skia/issues/detail?id=291 and
-https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/1f99541c2c5f6c6e

-Leaving this directory (and unused external dependency on gyp) in place until
-we figure out the long-term solution.  We may start using it again, or replace with
-DEPS, or ???
+NOTE: This set of dependencies must be manually kept in sync with the gclient
+DEPS; the output of "svn propget svn:externals ." should always be equivalent
+to the content of the "DEPS" file within trunk.
