I too am against this split. The "llvm" repository should contain all
that is necessary to build llvm on any platform and supporting whatever
build environments are necessary. If someone wanted to add a "borland"
directory, I wouldn't be opposed. About the only reason to remove these
directories is if they got so stale as to be unusable. But even in that
case, we wouldn't move them to a new repository, just delete (or
replace) them.
