ex-post-lgtm, some comments on things that might be worth some investigation for
the next run

Hmm.  Seems like this should already be installed in lib\ with the other
libraries.  I'll talk to mbelshe about changing this in a separate CL so it
doesn't have to be another moving part in the middle of the webkit conversion.

Hmm again.  I see why this is necessary, but having to coordinate these changes
in the checked-in .vcproj files seems like additional complication.  Maybe that
argues for trying to convert webkit+chrome together.  Let's discuss pros+cons
tomorrow.

Did you trace back through the IDS to identify what these removed dependencies
are?  They may be unnecessary in gyp (cargo cult) or may be something we need to
add for windows?
