[LLVMdev] QEMU testing for LIT execution tests

[Jonathan Roelofs]

So I started prototyping remote testing for libcxx over the weekend:
   https://github.com/jroelofs/libcxx/tree/remote_test

The SSHExecutor isn't quite finished yet, but this should give an idea of what 
I've got in mind.

Does this look generic enough to work for other projects under the llvm-umbrella 
(LNT, test-suite, compiler_rt, libcxxabi, etc)?  Are there use cases that you 
see where this will not work?
