V8 removing scons support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Seems like V8 is removing SCons support as shown later. This change would 
require a (maybe) slight change in PyV8 setup.py.

---
 ~/v8 $ scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Building V8 with SCons is no longer supported. Please use GYP instead; you can 
find instructions are at http://code.google.com/p/v8/wiki/BuildingWithGYP.

Quitting.

For a limited grace period, you can specify 
"I_know_I_should_build_with_GYP=yes" to override.

---

I have done a quick test on a Linux host and seems like simply executing 

make dependencies 

in V8 directory (this will install GYP) and then using something like 

make [arch] snapshot=on gdbjit=on liveobjectlist=on debuggersupport=on

is all we need to do and this should work on all systems that have make (Linux, 
Mac, cygwin, most other Unixes).

Just for reporting that r452 (together with r454 and r455 on Linux systems) 
fixes the issue.
