It's probably easiest to clone + gclient sync on your local machine,
then tar up the whole tree and copy that.  You don't strictly need all
of depot_tools (although you are going to need GYP[0]) but it's a
whole lot easier to build the project in the ordained way.

If you do decide to go down the non-depot_tools path, `make native
i18nsupport=off GYPFLAGS="-Dclang=0"` should produce a working
build... eventually.  The test suite will probably fail to build due
to missing gmock/gtest dependencies but you can work around that by
telling the Makefile in out/ to build just d8; I forgot what the exact
incantation is but it can be done.
