Portable Chromium build

[Anton Gerasimov]

Dear Chromium experts,

What is a best build (/flags) to make chrome.exe as a  kind of portable (at least, with a minimum dll dependencies)?

To hand over Chrome.exe to another PC for testing, etc.

Thank you

On windows, you can build the mini_installer target and run it on the other machine.

That works for Windows.

Cross-platform, the easiest way I know to do it is to use the `MB` tool's `zip`, which will package up the executable and all its runtime dependencies into a zip file, e.g.:

    $ python tools/mb/mb.py zip --no-build //out/Default chrome chrome.zip
