Yeah, that double configuration should not be needed.  I'll make that
dependency more explicit and clean up some of the usage in the SourceKit
case.  But, there is no reason to do two different builds here.  The only
bits needed to build dispatch AFAICT, is the swift core library and the
swift compiler.  Even if the swift overlay is required, we can add that
build ordering.  The dispatch overlay is constructed in libdispatch
itself.  So, we can just order the compiler build to occur prior to the
libdispatch build, which needs to be built before SourceKit.

Thanks for making me take a second look and notice that the explicit
dependency is missing.
