This may well cause a different kind of failure over time if directories do need
to get changed.

No worries, though. I understand this is just an expedient for the moment.

This is pretty safe actually - I doubt that we will ever see directories with
such names.

I fact, I tried a more generic change first: assume that anything without dots
and slashes isn't a path. That works fine for V8 but our codebase unfortunately
uses 'include' and 'googletest' as include paths. Not sure whether we can still
suggest a better solution to the gyp developers (like checking whether the paths
actually exist) but getting js2c.py fixed looks like a more promising approach
right now.
