-# HOW MANIFESTS WORK IN THE GN BUILD
-#
-# Use the windows_manifest template to declare a manifest generation step.
-# This will combine all listed .manifest files and generate a resource file
-# referencing the resulting manifest. To link this manifest, just depend on
-# the manifest target from your executable or shared library.
-#
-# This will define an empty placeholder target on non-Windows platforms so
-# the manifest declarations and dependencies do not need to be inside of OS
-# conditionals.
-#
-# Manifests uses different resource IDs for EXE and DLL targets. You will need
-# to specify this in the manifest target declaration and only use that manifest
-# target from the correct type of binary target.
-#
-# A binary can depend on only one manifest target, but the manifest target
-# can depend on many individual .manifest files which will be merged. As a
-# result, only executables and shared libraries should depend on manifest
-# targets. If you want to add a manifest to a component, put the dependency
-# behind a "if (is_component_build)" conditional.
-#
-# Generally you will just want the defaults for the Chrome build. In this case
-# the binary should just depend on one of the targets in //build/win/. There
-# are also individual manifest files in that directory you can reference via
-# the *_manifest variables defined below to pick and choose only some defaults.
-# You might combine these with a custom manifest file to get specific behavior.
-
-# Reference this manifest as a source from windows_manifest targets to get
-# the default Chrome OS compatibility list.
-default_compatibility_manifest = "//build/win/compatibility.manifest"
-
-# Reference this manifest as a source from windows_manifest targets to get
-# the default Chrome common constrols compatibility.
-common_controls_manifest = "//build/win/common_controls.manifest"
-
-# Reference this manifest to request that Windows not perform any elevation
-# when running your program. Otherwise, it might do some autodetection and
-# request elevated privileges from the user. This is normally what you want.
-as_invoker_manifest = "//build/win/as_invoker.manifest"
-
-# Construct a target to combine the given manifest files into a .rc file.
-#
-# Variables for the windows_manifest template:
-#
-#   sources: (required)
-#     List of source .manifest files to add.
-#
-#   type: "dll" or "exe" (required)
-#     Indicates the type of target that this manifest will be used for.
-#     DLLs and EXEs have different manifest resource IDs.
-#
-#   deps: (optional)
-#   visibility: (optional)
-#     Normal meaning.
-#
-# Example:
-#
-#   windows_manifest("doom_melon_manifest") {
-#     sources = [
-#       "doom_melon.manifest",   # Custom values in here.
-#       default_compatibility_manifest,  # Want the normal OS compat list.
-#     ]
-#     type = "exe"
-#   }
-#
-#   executable("doom_melon") {
-#     deps = [ ":doom_melon_manifest" ]
-#     ...
-#   }
