This just goes into the target for the static library?

[Marc Treib, 2016/05/27 14:03:12]

Err.. what?

[Bernhard Bauer, 2016/05/27 16:06:42]

This is part of the declaration of the target "ntp_snippets", which is of type
static_library. I was just wondering whether this actually works, or whether it
requires a separate target.

[Marc Treib, 2016/05/30 13:22:00]

Ah :)
components/suggestions.gypi uses it in the same way, so I assume this works.
