I think you pretty much proved my point. NaCL is a sandbox, the very thing that should have the cleanest, clearest delineated lines. But there's no standalone version, no stub version. And you seemingly need a PhD in Chromium to even find the source much less get it working in anything else.
I guess Mozilla is unusually capable then because their download link is right here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_Source_Code_%28Merc...
Pretty simple.
So you're working on Chromium and think navigating a buildbot to get python scripts that download from a private svn is not unusual... ok fine, but don't be surprised if people don't want to touch it (or even can figure out how to). I certainly understand better now why Mozilla would rather just drop Flash support.

So, the new claim is that making a directory and running a script is too hard for you: http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/sdk/howto_buildtestsdk
Seriously, this is just absurd. I don't know what you think you're arguing at this point, but I don't have the energy to correct you anymore.
Some dependencies are pulled in and set-up by the checkout scripts, which is not an unusual degree of complexity for a large group of projects with such broad dependencies. It's all clearly documented and everything you need to know to checkout, build, and contribute code is linked from right here: http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient
