<div dir="ltr">I think that installing these tools and having them used by third-party projects are separate questions.<br><br>AFAIK, currently these tools are considered purely internal testing tools, so we don't want external projects relying on them. Anyway, I personally can't think of any project other than MCLinker for which it would make sense to depend on these tools, so better to just have the MCLinker folks get involved upstream.<br>
<br><div><div>As to installing the tools, I'm sure that many of the tools that get installed currently are testing tools as well, so I don't see the harm of installing these tools (besides possibly bloating packages, which should probably be evaluated). Personally I don't think these tools are very useful outside of their testing role so I wouldn't bother installing them.<br>

Any objections or comments?<br>
