If a `src` config is not provided, by default, all of the library sources are included. There is some special handling in the build task to make sure all library sources are included regardless of the path to the build config. When someone includes a `src` config, path patterns are assumed to be relative to the current working directory (unless overriden with the `cwd` config). So, when you use the `src` config, your config is no longer portable.
The single externs/olx.js file describes all of the "options" objects we accept in our constructors. The @typedef annotations are used by the compiler for type checking. The @type annotations include documentation for individual options and serve as externs when compiling a profile of the library. When compiling an application together with the library, the externs/olx.js file is included as one of the sources to provide the @typedef's without generating externs.
If we want to maintain multiple src/*.externs.js files instead of one large externs/olx.js file, we can. But while we are still using Plovr, it makes for easier build configurations to have one file.
This removes the build tasks that generated the build/src/external/src/externs/types.js and build/src/internal/src/types.js files as those are both replaced by the single externs/olx.js file.
This is needed because the current version of closure compiler we use does not
include externs for valueAsNumber which we now use in ol.dom.Input.
So this backports patch from issue:
https://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/issues/detail?id=1060
This patch should be reverted when the next closure compiler release is out
with valueAsNumber externs.
