I'm not suggesting an "everything" folder, but a "just what I need"  
folder. One could imagine finding these folders (and possibly more)  
somewhere in svn:

     gcc/
       Makefile
       llvm-gcc/  [svn:external]
       llvm/  [svn:external]
       llvm-config/  [svn:external]
     ncfe/
       Makefile
       llvm-ncfe/  [svn:external]
       llvm/  [svn:external]
       llvm-config/  [svn:external]

Note that llvm-tv and the web site are appropriately excluded.

This could save new developers from needing to do anything but 'svn  
checkout; configure; make', which could be pretty cool. Assuming  
Chris' original idea, those with advanced LLVM-fu can still mix and  
match projects by checking them out manually; the prefabbed  
svn:external's are just a shortcut.
