            Bug ID: 147636
           Summary: [Win] build-webkit and MSBuild fight over
                    BuildOutput.htm, causing build failures.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: bfulgham at webkit.org

We started trying to capture build failures into our build log back in 2013, and added special logic for Visual Studio Express because the build driver was not emitting errors to stdout.

However, in Bug 140845 we switched to MSBuild for all builds, which handles this output properly.

Since MSBuild uses BuildOutput.htm directly, the file can be locked by MSBuild activity causing the overall build process to fail due to the 'die' command in the build-webkit Perl script.

We no longer need build-webkit to manually troll the log data and pipe it to stdout; MSBuild is already doing this properly.

Remove this unneeded (and bug-prone) code to improve the build reliability.
