I'm sorry, but at this point I don't see the value of making this change.
It would be a lot of work for no clear benefit.  Even if/when llvm headers
get installed into /usr/include/llvm, you can still use "" to get them.
For most practical purposes, all <> vs "" do is change the order of the
search path.  Am I missing something here, or is this just a matter of a
personal preference?
