The patch looks alright, I won't formally accept because if I knew how these worked, it wouldn't have caused so much pain to so many people :)

But other example plugins are also part of the ordinary source tree, see for example `llvm/lib/Transforms/Hello`. In fact this change is based on LLVMHello, which also has `BUILDTREE_ONLY`.

I honestly feel bad about these plugins. The first analyzer plugin laid in the `examples/` folder, but I was cautioned against adding more there as we're not really supporting them, but I think all the trouble of moving them wasn't worth it at all for such a negligible "gain".
