Hi Vince,

In general I like the idea of supporting crash reporting like this
(assuming it's opt-in for the user) and would personally be happy to
have it available in a default build.

Two questions:

- Does breakpad have the same OS support we have on LLDB today (OS
X/Linux/FreeBSD/Windows)?

- What do you think about hoisting the integration up to LLVM and
sharing the same infrastructure across other projects? (I think LLDB
would receive much more benefit from something like Breakpad than
other projects, but I'm just curious.)
