-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

-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.
