The only client is currently llvm-symbolizer, but the idea was that LLDB could use it, and eventually we should shift it off DIA and over to something cross-platform.

For reading DWARF we currently have two sort of redundant implementations in the overall LLVM project — one in lib/DebugInfo and another one in LLDB. Do you see an opportunity for sharing the PDB implementation between LLVM and LLDB?
