[cfe-dev] Renaming

Hi all,
As recently threatened, I am going to rename things and shuffle a few things
around in the source tree this evening. These are the changes I plan to
make:

1. Rename the clang compiler executable (currently 'clang') to 'clang-cc';
rewrite all the test cases to call clang-cc instead of clang.

2. Move clang/Driver to clang/tools/clang-cc (to match the name, and llvm,
and not be confusingly named Driver).

3. Change clang-driver to be called 'clang'. I plan to leave it in
tools/driver because clang is pretty ambiguous, but I will move it to
tools/clang if someone argues for it being inconsistent.

4. Change clang-cc to be installed in 'libexec/clang/', and update the
driver to look for it there.

5. Do nothing with ccc. There are still a few details to iron out and
testing to be done on the new driver; I expect to keep ccc around for
another week or so.

OK?

 - Daniel
