Work around very long command lines if possible #256

In http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=117512, the gyp generated 
makefile contained commands that were over 130K, thus causing exec() to fail. 
In that particular case, the problem was with the ar command.

"man ar" says one can pass in cmdline options via @file. I wonder if that'll 
get around the the cmdline limit.

Alternatively, we could do the fake thin archives hack (

http://codereview.chromium.org/9223037/ ), which works around this too (among 
other effects).
