llvm dev - Mar 2017 - Announce - chocolatey packages available for LLVM on Windows

Hi there

Myself and a colleague, David Bimmler, have created chocolatey packages for
LLVM versions 3.8.0-3.9.1 inclusive. We did this because we wanted to make
it easier to install onto our build infrastructure.

You can see the packages via https://chocolatey.org/packages/clang and the
source code for the packages at https://github.com/bimmlerd/clang-choco.

Chocolatey's moderation process involves a human in the loop, and so can
take a few days. While the packages are pending review, you can install
them by qualifying the version, like `choco install clang --version 3.9.1`,
instead of just `choco install clang`.

Information about chocolatey - https://chocolatey.org/about
How to install chocolatey - https://chocolatey.org/install

Hopefully this is a welcome contribution. We'd be happy for it to be pulled
into core if you'd like. AFAIK the package would need a Windows machine
with powershell to be built on within your release automation. We'd also
need to extend the automation in our repo to support publishing RCs (I
notice 4.0.0-rc3 has just dropped).

Best regards
Pete

Cool, I've heard of Chocolatey, but never actually used it. Anything that
makes it easier to use Clang on Windows sounds great to me. Thanks! :)
