Bug 4647 – Generate JS Bindings should build a build rule

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: SVG

Generate JS Bindings is the current (hackish) way of generating KDOM's automatic JavaScript bindings.  It's 
a small perl script run as part of the build process.

This reallly should be a build rule, keyed off of the idl files included in the project.

It also should at least generate the files into the DerivedSources directory, instead of modifying the source 
root.

This turns the previous "Generate JS Bindings" build phase into a really nifty
idl -> cpp/h build rule, removes the generated files from the xcode project as
well as moves the generated files out of the source root and into
DerivedSources.

Seems good. r=me

It turns out that this only works due to the fact that I had "continue after
errors" set, and was building twice (w/o realizing).  There are header
dependencies in the generated .cpp files which this build rule approach
exposes.  Until I can find a workaround in Xcode I'm going to need to roll this
back out.

autobinding is now done as a makefile.  Thsi bug is no longer needed.
