The answer to both your questions is that I wanted to keep the impact of
this change minimal. I have no idea what "/clang" is needed for, so I see
no reason to extend the same pattern for all tools. The same goes for llvmc
- maybe there are internal tools using it that are not part of the tree. I
tried to be careful and not break anyone else's code, even if the chances
for that are low.

I suppose we could hold a kind of a "poll" on llvmdev asking developers
what custom tools they have and what is really needed in lit.cfg - I agree
that a lot of stuff in there is probably historical cruft.
