Actually, that's not Vikram's home directory.  It's a directory that
belongs to Vikram's research group.  Files were historically categorized
by professor back when LLVM was first released.

When deciding upon a default setting for the location of external
benchmarks, we couldn't really think up of one since there's no standard
place where they should be .  Therefore, we decided to set the default
to a location that would be convenient for our research group.  :)

I think the only other default that makes sense is to have it default to
${LLVM_SRC_ROOT}/External or ${HOME}/External or something like that. 
That's less convenient for us at Illinois and probably not much more
convenient for anybody else, but it is more intuitive.

I don't feel strongly about it either way; I just wanted to let you know
that there was a method behind the madness.
