Details

Skia takes a significant amount of time to build which hurts all developers. We should use a build-time option which enables us to skip compiling it unless somebody actually needs it on platforms which do not use it. George told me that there's a USE_SKIA flag already defined somewhere which might mean that we could just toggle its value for the purposes of this bug.
We'll make Skia build everywhere as of bug 1323303
