Mike Hommey 0637bfef3e Bug 1572046 - Build shared libraries in a separate target. r=nalexander
When a directory, like toolkit/library, builds both a static and a
shared library, and another, like toolkit/library/gtest, depends on the
static part, it currently needs to wait for the shared library to be
finished building, preventing both libraries being built in parallel.

By separating shared libraries to a different target, we allow more
parallelism to the build.

README

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
