The many many benefits include:
1 - Input/Output/Error streams are now handled as real streams not a push style input
2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter
3 - multi-line input for "script" and "expression" commands now allow you to edit previous/next lines using up and down arrow keys and this makes multi-line input actually a viable thing to use
4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)
We will need to deal with and fix any buildbot failures and tests and arise now that input/output and error are correctly hooked up in all cases.

This has led to many test suite failures because of copy and paste where new test cases were based off of other test cases and the "mydir" variable wasn't updated.
Now you can call your superclasses "compute_mydir()" function with "__file__" as the sole argument and the relative path will be computed for you.

Set up self.lldbOption to be "--no-lldbibit" unless env variable NO_LLDBIBIT is defined and equals "NO".
Also add "-nx" to gdb spawned.

built locally from the source tree. This is distinguished from self.lldbExec, which
can be used by test/benchmarks to measure the performances against other debuggers.
You can use environment variable LLDB_EXEC to specify self.lldbExec to the dotest.py
test driver, otherwise it is going to be populated with self.lldbHere.
Modify the regular tests under test dir, i.e., not test/benchmarks, to use self.lldbHere.
Also modify the benchmarks tests to use self.lldbHere when it needs an 'lldb' executable
with debug info to do the performance measurements.
