14NOTE: We have disabled our use of these external dependencies, for now, because
15they will fail for anyone using gclient to check out the skia code. (As of
16early 2011, gclient passes --ignore-externals when calling svn update.) See
17http://code.google.com/p/skia/issues/detail?id=291 and
18https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/1f99541c2c5f6c6e

20Leaving this directory (and unused external dependency on gyp) in place until
21we figure out the long-term solution. We may start using it again, or replace with
22DEPS, or ???
