Note that the “webkit-build-directory” script is used to obtain the
build directory, so “WebKitBuild/Debug” or “WebKitBuild/Release” can
be removed, but “WebKitBuild/Dependencies” is never removed. Also,
provided that I would expect EWS bots to have “ccache” installed,
so in reality applying the patch is not that intrusive.

Fixing the invocation of gtk-doc is something that should also be
done. Nevertheless, there can be other cases in which the EWS bots
could choke and need a clean build—wiping just the derived sources
may not be enough.
