@hans the explicit path must be declared, all exes and dlls.  The unexpected 
probes for link.exe when invoking clang-cl.exe when it isn't actually going to 
be invoked are what we want to avoid.

```
D:\>clang-cl -vctoolsdir fake main.cpp
clang-cl: error: unable to execute command: program not executable
clang-cl: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see 
invocation)
```


================
Comment at: clang/test/Driver/cl-options.c:686
+// vctoolsdir is handled by the driver; just check that we don't error. Pass 
-c because fakedir isn't a real toolchain path
+// RUN: %clang_cl -c -vctoolsdir fakedir -- %s 2>&1

What's the expectation on the test boxes?  I can author such a test but it 
would be very brittle unless we have a spec for how VS should be installed.
