Yes, this is what hooks are for. You're supposed to change the
cmd_line property to something like this:

(cmd_line "$CALL(PrependCustomizedPath, 'toolname') --tool --options")

The PrependCustomizedPath function above is implemented in C++ (just
drop a .cpp file into the plugin directory).

Right now, you can't do OS detection in TableGen code, so you should
use hooks for platform-specific things.

Also, do not hesitate to mail me or file a bug if you notice some
warts in Windows support. One known issue is that DLL plugins do not
work. I test on both Linux and Windows, but develop mainly on Linux.

BTW, Chris's Makefile changes broke llvmc yesterday (r75379). I'm
working on a fix.
