[cfe-dev] clang-tools compilation confusion

Hi,

I think this should be really only about cloning clang-extras into
the right directory. clang-extras should be in: 'llvm/tools/clang/tools/extra'.
I attached a script which clones and builds LLVM with a list of subprojects.
Just comment out the ones you don't need.
