+## Basic Executable Structure

+ * Windows: tiny exe file loads DLL and runs it

+ * Mac: multiple exes (app mode / normal) which load the bundle (DLL) and run it

+ * Linux: one big binary, no tricks (yet)

+## Control Flow

+ * `main()` lives in the `exe_main` files, which live in `chrome/app/`

+ * it loads DLLs and calls into `ChromeMain`, which lives in `dll_main` files in `chrome/app/`

+ * that processes command line args and spawns subprocess types like `BrowserMain`, `RendererMain`

+ * `BrowserMain` is the majority of browser code, living in `chrome/browser/`
