First, I'd like to thank you for all this amazing work. Chromium is
indeed a giant project and its proper integration has some specific
challenges by itself...

I went through all the commits, one by one. There are few that might
need minor adjustments (as for example the removal of cups support
which should be moved to a PACKAGECONFIG) but in general, they are all
good. You did a great job making it very granular and well documented
:-)

I think this is huge enough that using a pull request so we can track
comments and progress makes sense. Do you mind creating one?

I think we will end picking individual commits on the beginning to
reduce the delta and keep going until we have the bump done. Do you
think it is a good way to handle this?
