## Background

We know at least two software projects that would benefit from a suite of
LLVM LIT integration tests:

1. [Mull](https://github.com/mull-project/mull)

2. [Doorstop](https://github.com/doorstop-dev/doorstop/pull/431)

Many software projects could benefit from a suite of LLVM LIT integration tests.
The problem is that you have to build `FileCheck` from LLVM sources
which is not a trivial task for 1) people who are not familiar with the LLVM
infrastructure and 2) Python-based projects that would prefer to not have
to build anything from LLVM sources in their CI process.
to build anything from LLVM's source code in their CI process.

The option of having pre-compiled binaries is a workaround, but we don't like to
keep third-party binary artifacts in source code,
(see https://github.com/doorstop-dev/doorstop/pull/431#issuecomment-549237579).
