Yes, i noticed these; they test the llvm/clang build, but don't touch real
world projects. This is important for a compiler, as some (most) changes
won't directly affect the internal clang build/test process. My first email
on the subject suggested some external common libraries with extensive test
suites that could help a build bot find more exotic bugs.

Completely orthogonal to this, is a test for MinGW-w64, including 64-bit. Or
even a visual studio test bot. All these would be nice to have. I understand
the later might be harder (visual studio won't run in Unix environments...)

Thanks for the interest!

get out of date very, very quickly. So, for them to be useful, they really
need to be updated automatically. Then best way to do that, in my mind,
would be to set up a buildbot that tests these projects. Bring the buildbot
online when one of the projects starts working on that platform, and keep it
running: the buildbot will tell us when things are broken, so we won't
regress.
