We're starting to write a collection of functions and classes helpful for unit
testing, but we don't have anywhere to put them. For example,
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/unittests/ExecutionEngine/JIT/JITTest.cpp?view=markup
contains a RecordingJITMemoryManager class and a LoadAssembly(char*) helper
function, both of which could be useful for other tests.

We probably want a couple different helper libraries with different
dependencies so that the VMCore unit tests don't have to depend on the JIT.

I'd like someone who knows the build system to set up the Makefiles
appropriately so that individual test writers like me can just add
files/functions to the right places to share them.
