Patched and works. What's the general opinion on applying this to -current? Otherwise it'll be sitting in my private tree, possibly bit-rotting. :) For people that are experimenting with llvm and/or clang, these additional tools might sometimes come in handy. For normal users, it won't have any impact, except for a few extra source files in the tree. These tools will not be built by default.
