WebRTC standalone shares a lot of dependencies and build
tools with Chromium. To make the build work, many of the
paths of a Chromium checkout is now emulated by creating
symlinks to files and directories.
All DEPS entries that previously used Var("chromium_trunk")
to reference a Chromium checkout or From("chromium_deps"..)
to reference the Chromium DEPS file are now removed and
replaced by symlink entries in setup_links.py.
The script also handles cleanup of the legacy
Subversion-based dependencies that's needed for the
transition.
Windows: One Windows-specific important change is that
gclient sync|runhooks must now be run from a shell
with Administrator privileges in order to be able to create
symlinks. This also means that Windows XP is no longer
supported.
To transition a previously created checkout:
Run "python setup_links.py --force" to cleanup the old
SVN-based dependencies that have been synced by gclient sync.
For Buildbots, the --force flag is automatically enabled for
their syncs.

Unfortunately needs to introduce yet another workaround
script for the Visual Studio toolchain download.
This will resolve the failures with our Dr Memory Full bot
(see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=366637#c2
for details). Long term, I'm considering a better approach
than using the added gclient solution pointing at
svn://svn-mirror.golo.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/deps/third_party/drmemory/drmemory.DEPS
i.e. add an entry that we roll separately in our DEPS file
instead. However, the Dr Memory team assured that changes
in their reporting format like this are rare.
Thanks fischman@ for the video_render.gypi fix!
Thanks kma@ for the transform_neon.S fix even if it turned out
not to be needed right now (probably will come back).
