Nathan Froyd 27dc2c9c56 Bug 1306650 - part 5 - modify clang-cl toolchain config to look for just cl.exe; r=ehsan
We cannot depend on a fixed location for cl.exe in a taskcluster world.
We therefore need to make our build-clang.py script accomodate relative
path names for cc/cxx and assume those are binaries that should be
looked up on PATH.

We also need to modify the Linux build script so that the virtualenv is
used to look up the new 'which' package.

build-clang.py
==============

A script to build clang from source.

```
usage: build-clang.py [-h] -c CONFIG [--clean]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        Clang configuration file
  --clean               Clean the build directory
```

Pre-requisites
--------------
* Working build toolchain.
* Subversion
* CMake
* Ninja
* Python 2.7

Please use the latest available CMake for your platform to avoid surprises.

Config file format

* gcc_dir: Path to the gcc toolchain installation, only required on Linux.
* cc: Path to the bootsraping C Compiler.
* cxx: Path to the bootsraping C++ Compiler.
* patches: Optional list of patches to apply per platform.  Supported platforms: macosx64, linux32, linux64.  The default is Release.
