+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
