This issue arises when you are not using Cygwin, say you are using the Qt
Command Prompt.

(*)Testing with -x in Perl under Windows always returns false because Windows
does not share the same concept of the executable bit as Unix/Linux. Moreover,
we never reach line 573 of webkitdirs.pm
<http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm?rev=52522#L573>
(whose unless condition would always fail and cause us to die() by (*)) when we
are using Cygwin because of line 568
<http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm?rev=52522#L568>,
which causes us to return immediately. However, when you are not using Cygwin
(say you're using the Qt Command Prompt), then we will reach line 573 and die()
because of (*).
