[webkit-dev] New EWS Non-Unified builder

[Alex Christensen]

I don’t see the goal as “keep non-Unified-Source building” but rather “prevent unrelated build fixes when we add another file later”.  Right now when we add a new file we often have to sprinkle includes, declarations, and other build fixes in files unrelated to the current change.  If we had a bot building without unification we would be informed at the time we write the problematic code.

I do not support the idea of adding an additional builder just to “keep non-Unified-Source building” if no actively-supported platform is not choosing that build style.
