The lit specific portion of your patch isn't right. LLVM tests are
written in a Tcl style. What we need to do is find a way to make lit
agnostic to the Windows paths. This probably comes down to normalizing
the %s etc subtitutions to Unix style, then translating the paths to
Windows style when we actually execute commands.
