The changes in the bulk of the Chrome code are pretty easy to tell in
advance. Just search for OS_LINUX. It would be nice if the first pass
didn't just tack on OS_FREEBSD to every OS_LINUX in chrome, especially
since I think there's a good chance it won't be maintained
longer-term. I definitely believe you that there will be a bunch of
unknown build/third_party stuff.

Are you suggesting getting it running before checking anything in? I
think BenL's was planning to do it piecemeal.
