I'm not so happy about the sorting. Should it just be on top?

[Jakob Kummerow, 2015/01/07 16:20:59]

I'm not too happy about it either. Keeping version.cc next to version.h has its
appeal, but I think we should preserve alphabetical ordering. Let's put it at
the top or the bottom of the list. (Same in v8.gyp.)
