#i figured i would add this section just as a precaution type thing
#as i know applications like google chrome have a special condition for building
#this is mainly for developers that have to have a special build preparation
#such as export GYP_GENERATORS=make for chrome
#its very helpful also for build dependency installation
#if you (the dev) include a DEPS script that installs all dependencies
#you can put it right in here and have it run.

#here is an example:
