[lldb-dev] Use of MAKE in tests

[Reid Kleckner]

I haven't stared deeply at LLDB's usage of make, but I think adding CMake
to the mix is a step in the wrong direction.  CMake isn't a make
replacement, it's a meta-build system and autoconf replacement.  Once you
generate build files, you'll still have an external dependency on some
other build system (ninja or msbuild).

Aren't most LLDB test programs simple enough to be linked with something
like the lit shell interpreter?
