I certainly agree with that, but I don't see how fiddling with LLDB_TEST_DEPS 
is going to help testing at all. AFAICT, all it does it set's up the 
dependencies in the cmake graph. That is not going to help you run the tests. 
If the tools are there, the tests will run fine; if they aren't the tests will 
fail.

Now if we were talking about detecting the available tools and automatically 
warning about their absence and/or skipping tests, that would be a different 
story, but I don't see anyone proposing that...
