Why not put them all together in one place?  There are not a huge  
number of these total (maybe a dozen certainly less than two) so I  
don't think it's that big of a deal.

I don't really have any idea what clang's disk footprint should be  
when installed.  I haven't thought that far ahead :)

However, wherever they go, it would be nice to be able to find them  
relative to the clang executable or something.  On a related note,  
Anton K (over on llvmdev) is working on rewriting the llvmc compiler  
driver, to make it more sane.  Once that is farther along, it should  
be easier to understand how we hook this together.
