llvm dev - May 2009 - [LLVMdev] Installing tbgen with llvm by default.

Hi,

Would it be possible to set tbgen to be installed with llvm? For our  
project http://llvm.org/ProjectsWithLLVM/#tta-tce it would be very  
helpful, because our tools generate compiler backend plugins in the  
fly for each customized processor and plugin generation needs tbgen  
for handling td files.

Because of tbgen not beeing distributed, our users cannot use llvm  
from their favorite distribution packages, but they have to have llvm  
sources as well to be able to use our tools. Basically we have  
workaround where we copy tbgen sources of each supported version of   
llvm to our project tree and write compile rules and install it with  
our project, which is a bit painful.

Sure, would you care to prepare a patch?

Great!

Hope that this patch will do. I removed util dir from install filter-out 
list, added NO_INSTALL = 1 to googletest Makefile and removed NO_INSTALL 
define from tblgen.
