* [mconley] I've seen this trick used by bz and ehsan a few times - if you're debugging the native code, and you need to set a breakpoint that's normally hit very often (ex: Element::DispatchEvent), and you only want it to break after some JS that you call, set a breakpoint at js::math_sin, and call that before your special JS code. Then, when you hit that breakpoint, set up / enable your other breakpoints. Voila!

* [kitcambridge] UNIFIED_SOURCES are concatenated together, then compiled. If one source file doesn't include a required header, but another one does, and they're merged into the same unified file, everything will build fine. If you add a new source file, it affects how they're merged, so you can get unrelated breakages.
