src/courgette is the canonical representation.  we placed googleurl,
breakpad, and v8 in src and not third_party because they are developed by
our team, so we do not have licensing / copyright concerns.

the rule we have been following is to put items in third_party that do not
conform to our licensing or that are developed by another group.  i think by
this measure it is correct for googleurl, breakpad, and v8 to live in src.
 same goes for gtest.  skia seems like a borderline case to me.

the point of third_party is to make ease the job of a licensing lawyer who
has to figure out what they need to worry about.
