Thanks Aaron, and my apologies for being easily frustrated.

I'd really like to enable this.
I think the blocker is mostly the amount of boilerplate needed to set up test 
directories. 
These required files are mostly boilerplate:

- test/CMakeLists.txt (deps are meaningful, rest is boilerplate)
- test/lit.site.cfg.py.in
- test/lit.cfg.py
- test/Unit/lit.site.cfg.py.in (this patch puts these under unittest/ instead, 
but either way)
- test/Unit/lit.cfg.py

Creating 10 more copies of each of those seems a little irresponsible, 
especially for tools that are "lightly maintained". So it's hard to say with a 
straight face that restructuring them all is a good idea, and maybe this 
motivated the original clang-tools-extra structure.
But if those files were generated/eliminated somehow, restructuring would be 
very simple patches that didn't add more cruft to maintain.

It's not obvious to me exactly how to do this (lit.* files affect both 
discovery and configuration) but I'll dig into this more tomorrow.
