[Openmp-dev] Enabling OMPT by default

[Jonas Hahnfeld via Openmp-dev]

Sure, but IMO it would be better to have them run on each commit in 
LLVM. This also saves you the effort of finding out which changes broke 
functionality with your compiler ;-) in addition, it makes contributors 
more comfortable because they know their change gets automatic testing 
so they can fix problems right away or revert the change until finding 
out what's happening.
And I agree that anyone *could* setup the bot but I believe it's in 
Intel's interest and you certainly have hardware that could be used for 
that. I don't see why the community should pay for something that is 
easy to do for a larger company whose employees also work on the 
software.
