[llvm-dev] RFC: Adding IR Transformation examples/tutorial code to llvm-project

[Michael Kruse via llvm-dev]

I like the idea and already discussed it with Kit Barton.

Two concerns that I had:

1. Keeping them in-tree requires them to be up-to-date, a potential
additional maintenance burden. This might be what we want, but I get
less enthusiastic when thinking about maintaining all tutorials ever
given at any conference during the last xx years without having gone
through a review process.

2.Chris Bieneman seeks to simplify the cmake build system, including
significantly reducing the number of configuration parameters and
making "make all" really make everything, including examples. This
would make the overall configure process slower even when not
interested in the tutorials.
