We have ipc/chromium/chromium-config.mk for this purpose. Any makefile which
uses IPC stuff needs to include that. See

The chromium-config makefile needs to set other Chromium-specific defines,
in addition to setting the include path: unless we were to do that globally
(which sounds risky to me) I think we should just add chromium-config.mk to
individual makefile directories as we need to.
