I poked around, and after applying the attached patch, some tests run
just fine. (test's with grep and spaces are broken as are some
others).

Here's how I run the test I wrote:

C:\Users\Michael\Projects\llvm>"C:\Python26\python.exe"    C:/Users/Michael/Proj
ects/llvm/utils/lit/lit.py    --param llvm_site_config=C:/Users/Michael/Projects
/llvm-build/VS9/test/lit.site.cfg    --param llvm_unit_site_config=C:/Users/Mich
ael/Projects/llvm-build/VS9/test/Unit/lit.site.cfg    -v    C:/Users/Michael/Pro
jects/llvm-build/VS9/test/MC/COFF/basic-coff.s
