OK, maybe we should try shipping without LLVM_INSTALL_TOOLCHAIN_ONLY.
It grows the installer from 25 MB to 115 MB, but Reid pointed out that
the release on Linux is actually even larger, so maybe it's ok.

If we think this is what we want to do, I can build next week's
snapshot this way, and maybe Richard can try it out and see if
building a tool with that works?
