We don't want GeckoView to move out of Nightly until we get the APIs a bit more mature

Mike - I think this should be enough to stop GeckoView from getting built anywhere but Nightly

Review of attachment 8343546 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

That'd prevent people from building a geckoview on non nightly branches if they want to. I don't know if it's a problem or not. If it is, it would be better to to that at configure.in level, resetting MOZ_DISABLE_GECKOVIEW when it's not already set (as in, export MOZ_DISABLE_GECKOVIEW=). That can be checked with:
  test "${MOZ_DISABLE_GECKOVIEW-unset}" = unset.

But I do want to make a nicer approach, like the one in comment 2. I need this on Fx27 so I'll land this one for now.

I forgot to add the stub for INNER_MAKE_GECKOVIEW_LIBRARY. Without it, we break here:

Backed out from Aurora due to the same bustage that hit when this was uplifted during the last cycle. We can land this on Aurora/Beta once the bustage fix gets reviewed.

Batch request for both patches

Bug caused by (feature/regressing bug #): GeckoView libraries
User impact if declined: Shipping alpha-ready GeckoView. We do not want the GeckoView libraries to move past Nightly yet.
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): bustage fix now landed
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): Should not affect Fennec/Firefox, but can break the build. The bustage fix corrects that.
