[PATCH] D33964: [LLVM][llvm-objcopy] Added basic plumbing to get things started

There are several llvm projects that use similar functionality so a library should be implemented at some point. Petr spoke with Rui about this possibility of de-duplication of efforts. The conclusion of this discussion was that we should build llvm-objcopy independently and think about de-duplication later. Sean Silva expressed a similar sentiment in the llvm-objcopy proposal email. I may be speaking out of turn here but I think everyone agrees that a) there is duplication occurring across llvm here and b) now is not the right time to tackle that issue but it should defiantly be in thought about. There is some concern over weather the de-duplication even makes sense. I think as llvm-objcopy starts to be fleshed out it will become clear what can be de-duplicated and what cannot. That will give us a good idea of what should and shouldn't go in this library.
