FAQ:
Q: Why does this directory exist?
A: libpng is pulled in through DEPS, but in order to build it using ninja, we
- need to create pnglibconf.h. In https://codereview.chromium.org/930283002/,
- we originally tried creating the file as an action, but this apparently led
- to a race condition on Windows, where some builds failed to create the file
- in time for other files to include it. By checking pnglibconf.h directly
- into Skia, we eliminate the race condition.
