Due to font rendering differences (not in the metrics, but in the
antialiasing/hinting) and form control differences (similarly, not in
the layout, but in the rendering of e.g. shadows), we need a different
set of expected images on Linux than Windows.  We'd like to check in
these images.

However, that will mean the chromium repo (under
webkit/data/layout_tests/platform/chromium-linux) will grow by the
size of this data.  For comparison, the chromium-win directory is 4745
png files, another 4745 checksums, and a total 94 megabytes.  Everyone
will now end up checking those out, so svn will be correspondingly
slower and repo size (and initial checkout time) will be worse.

An alternative is to split this data out via DEPS; in that case it'd
make sense to do the same to mac and win.
Does anyone have strong opinions on this?
