This is only needed by webkit/default_plugin/plugin_impl_win.h, which inherits
from app/win/window_impl.h to pop up the dialog about installing plugins.  I'm
not sure how much effort it would be to re-write this or to make a stub
implementation since we don't actually need it for DRT.

fishd just reminded me on chat that gclient supports "From" to include version
from other DEPS files.  I'm going to try to rewrite the DEPS file using "From"
