[LLVMdev] Heads-up: changing the structure of compiler-rt source tree

[Iain Sandoe]

I would still urge folks to consider keeping distinct functionality in separate places.

Agreed, it makes more sense for the [language agnostic]  unwinder to be in compiler-rt than libcxxabi -- but IMO it makes even more sense for it to be distinct.  

The bundling of the unwinder with libgcc_s gave us (i.e. 3rd party folks, outside the vendor's organisation) nothing but headaches.  Much happier to see it in libunwind.xxx
