gyp and gyp_helper path are obtained dynamically. Pylint generates
format checker warning. The Workaround is recommended by:
http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.html.
Although the style guide prefers using symbolic names, which is
supported since pylint 0.25.3, the depot_tools/pylint is 0.25.1.

build/gyp_chromium uses gyp_helper to get variables for GYP from
chromium.gyp_env file.
More on chromium.gyp_env can be found here

This is useful if you want to override some GYP varibles to test
different flags, e.g. using clang to build.

This is for cross platform support. gyp_packager.py is modified
from build/gyp_chromium and adapted to packager code.
New build instructions:
1. Setup gyp: ./gyp_packager.py
clang is not enabled by default, which can be enabled by overriding
GYP_DEFINE environment variable, i.e. "GYP_DEFINES='clang=1
use_openssl=1' ./gyp_packager.py".
Ninja is the default build system. User can also change to make by
overriding GYP_GENERATORS to make, i.e. "GYP_GENERATORS='make'
./gyp_packager.py".
2. The first step generates the make files but does not start the
build process. Ninja is the default build system. Refer to Ninja
manual on how to do the build.
Common syntaxes: ninja -C out/{Debug/Release} [Module]
Module is optional. If not specified, build everything.
Step 1 is only required if there is any gyp file change. Otherwise, you
may just run ninja.
