-USING THIS SCRIPT IN CHROMIUM
-
-Forking Python to run this script in the middle of GN is slow, especially on
-Windows, and it makes both the GYP and GN files harder to follow. You can't
-use "git grep" to find files in the GN build any more, and tracking everything
-in GYP down requires a level of indirection. Any calls will have to be removed
-and cleaned up once the GYP-to-GN transition is complete.
-
-As a result, we only use this script when the list of files is large and
-frequently-changing. In these cases, having one canonical list outweights the
-downsides.
-
-As of this writing, the GN build is basically complete. It's likely that all
-large and frequently changing targets where this is appropriate use this
-mechanism already. And since we hope to turn down the GYP build soon, the time
-horizon is also relatively short. As a result, it is likely that no additional
-uses of this script should every be added to the build. During this later part
-of the transition period, we should be focusing more and more on the absolute
-readability of the GN build.
-
-
-HOW TO USE
-
-It is assumed that the file contains a toplevel dictionary, and this script
-will return that dictionary as a GN "scope" (see example below). This script
-does not know anything about GYP and it will not expand variables or execute
-conditions.
-
-It will strip conditions blocks.
-
-A variables block at the top level will be flattened so that the variables
-appear in the root dictionary. This way they can be returned to the GN code.
-
-Say your_file.gypi looked like this:
-  {
-     'sources': [ 'a.cc', 'b.cc' ],
-     'defines': [ 'ENABLE_DOOM_MELON' ],
-  }
-
-You would call it like this:
-  gypi_values = exec_script("//build/gypi_to_gn.py",
-                            [ rebase_path("your_file.gypi") ],
-                            "scope",
-                            [ "your_file.gypi" ])
-
-Notes:
- - The rebase_path call converts the gypi file from being relative to the
-   current build file to being system absolute for calling the script, which
-   will have a different current directory than this file.
-
- - The "scope" parameter tells GN to interpret the result as a series of GN
-   variable assignments.
-
- - The last file argument to exec_script tells GN that the given file is a
-   dependency of the build so Ninja can automatically re-run GN if the file
-   changes.
-
-Read the values into a target like this:
-  component("mycomponent") {
-    sources = gypi_values.sources
-    defines = gypi_values.defines
-  }
-
-Sometimes your .gypi file will include paths relative to a different
-directory than the current .gn file. In this case, you can rebase them to
-be relative to the current directory.
-  sources = rebase_path(gypi_values.sources, ".",
-                        "//path/gypi/input/values/are/relative/to")
-
-This script will tolerate a 'variables' in the toplevel dictionary or not. If
-the toplevel dictionary just contains one item called 'variables', it will be
-collapsed away and the result will be the contents of that dictinoary. Some
-.gypi files are written with or without this, depending on how they expect to
-be embedded into a .gyp file.
-
-This script also has the ability to replace certain substrings in the input.
-Generally this is used to emulate GYP variable expansion. If you passed the
-argument "--replace=<(foo)=bar" then all instances of "<(foo)" in strings in
-the input will be replaced with "bar":
-
-  gypi_values = exec_script("//build/gypi_to_gn.py",
-                            [ rebase_path("your_file.gypi"),
-                              "--replace=<(foo)=bar"],
-                            "scope",
-                            [ "your_file.gypi" ])
