We started trying to capture build failures into our build log back in 2013, and added special logic for Visual Studio Express because the build driver was not emitting errors to stdout. However, in Bug 140845 we switched to MSBuild for all builds, which handles this output properly. Since MSBuild uses BuildOutput.htm directly, the file can be locked by MSBuild activity causing the overall build process to fail due to the 'die' command in the build-webkit Perl script. We no longer need build-webkit to manually troll the log data and pipe it to stdout; MSBuild is already doing this properly. Remove this unneeded (and bug-prone) code to improve the build reliability.

I'm trying to track down any errors or differences in EWS versus the other builds.
