It's definitely possible to (at worst) shorten the path if we say we don't
care about supporting other languages (i'm fine saying that for now unless
someone comes along with a serious committment to support and maintaining
other bindings). So we could drop packages/Python for example.

Yes, writing that long path every time you run a test case was indeed the
reason for that symlink. I stood it for a couple of weeks before it drove me
round the bend! You want it to be a real path and not just have the test suite
accept partial paths because it is really handy to use the shell
The reason they were put into the packages directory in the first place is
because this forms a proper python package so that more code can be shared
amongst test cases. I don't know why the symlink was ever created in the
first place, sounds like that was probably put in place by someone who

So, I want to delete the testcases symlink from the LLDB tree, and move the
tests out of the packages directory into tests/testcases.
A few reasons why I want to do this:
(1) I can't imagine symlinks in SVN is something that works well on platforms
that don't support symlinks (like Windows)
(2)
