Regarding Brad King's CMake patches for LLVM:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.cvs/173517

If compiler-rt could follow suit, the packaging for the toolchain
becomes a nice, clean package-manager-friendly DAG.  Currently, the
compiler-rt CMake build depends on the just-built-clang to run its
test suite.  It's more intuitive to me that either:

 1) compiler-rt's sanitizer tests would live inside the clang project
 2) compiler-rt would export a test suite that clang could optionally import

The former is simpler, but the latter allows the compiler-rt
developers to retain control over those tests, which are typically
updated alongside changes to compiler-rt's sanitizers.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Greg
