In Atom Shell we took a very similar approach: for `Debug` builds, the binary
will be linked to shared library version of Chromium's components to achieve
fast linking time; for `Release` build, the binary will be linked to the static
library versions, so we can have best binary size and performance.

All of Chromium's prebuilt binaries are downloaded when running the bootstrap
script. By default both static libraries and shared libraries will be
downloaded and the final size should be between 800MB and 2GB according to the
platform.
If you only want to build Atom Shell quickly for testing or development, you
can only download the shared library versions by passing the `--dev` parameter:
```bash
$ ./script/boostrap.by --dev
$ ./script/build.by -c D
$ ./script/bootstrap.py --dev
$ ./script/build.py -c D
```
