It really is a pain that gyp litters things all over the place.
It would be nice if things got put into a parallel tree.

Go for it.  I'm too mired in memory task force.

In case it's helpful:  There two key hassles the last time I looked.  Changes 
to the 
msvs generator and/or NaCl introduction revealed problems in how actions + 
rules 
execute custom scripts.  For --generator-output= to work with minimal hassle, 
we need 
to cd back to the source directory to execute the script with the input file 
names 
all being expressed relative to the source script.  The output file names have 
to get 
massaged to point back to the generator-output directory.  Paths need to be 
relative, 
not absolute, so the entire morass is relocatable.

A complication for gyp development is that the Chrome production build uses 
cygwin 
for command execution but the test infrastructure doesn't, so there are 
different 
code paths involved GenerateExternalRule().

Sorry, up a layer in the stack.  That last mention should be to 
_PrepareActionRaw().

Just to mention that I got a quick patch for UNIX makefile generator:
