Chromium shouldn't build inside the source directory

It breaks assumptions of some of our scripts at least:

Renaming WebKit/chromium/xcodebuild/DerivedSources/Debug/webcore/bindings/V8WebGLFloatArray.cpp to WebKit/chromium/xcodebuild/DerivedSources/Debug/webcore/bindings/V8WebGLFloat32Array.cpp
fatal: not under version control, source=WebKit/chromium/xcodebuild/DerivedSources/Debug/webcore/bindings/V8WebGLFloatArray.cpp, destination=WebKit/chromium/xcodebuild/DerivedSources/Debug/webcore/bindings/V8WebGLFloat32Array.cpp

Related.  Chromium should either not unpack files inside the source directory, or it should gitignore/svn ignore them:


#	WebKit/chromium/app/
#	WebKit/chromium/base/
#	WebKit/chromium/chromium_deps/
#	WebKit/chromium/gfx/
#	WebKit/chromium/googleurl/
#	WebKit/chromium/gpu/
#	WebKit/chromium/media/
#	WebKit/chromium/net/
#	WebKit/chromium/sdch/
#	WebKit/chromium/skia/
#	WebKit/chromium/testing/
#	WebKit/chromium/third_party/
#	WebKit/chromium/tools/
#	WebKit/chromium/v8/
#	WebKit/chromium/webkit/

I think we can just svn/git ignore the related directories.  I seems better that WebKit Mac and WebKit Chromium Mac build into different directories.  WebKit Chromium Mac happens to use WebKit/chromium/xcodebuild.

r61162 Adds the directories to svn:ignore, however, some scripts will still error out.  For example, do-webcore-rename will still crawl every file in WebKit.

It would probably take some effort to unpack in a different directory.  I'm not sure how hard it is to move the build directory on Mac/Win (on Linux, I already moved it to the top level for correctness issues with the Makefile).  It might be easier to make the scripts skip these directories.
