These scripts fairly optional and are more like developer help for someone who 
wants to give a quick test to any of LLVM tools on some target in absence of 
hardware and I agree someone may wanna use them on windows and quite likely I 
might be that someone in very near future. But I ll hold moving to python for 
now. I ll write an rst doc and arrange the scripts under lldb/scripts as 
suggested.
