959508 - Remove EXTERNALLY_MANAGED_MAKE_FILE traversal

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

EXTERNALLY_MANAGED_MAKE_FILE traversal was used for gyp, but now gyp directories are handled as if they had a moz.build, so they don't need specific traversal rules. The exception in config.mk, however, is still needed for bug 952120 and config/tests/src-simple/Makefile.in.
