The change was accidentally undone by r245290.
Original log message:
When calling DisplayGraph and a PS viewer is chosen, two programs are executed: The GraphViz generator and the PostScript viewer. Always wait for the generator to finish to ensure that the .ps file is written before opening the viewer for that file. DisplayGraph's wait parameter refers to whether to wait until the user closes the viewer.
This happened on Windows and if none of the options to open the .dot file directly applies, also on Linux.

Summary: Windows system rarely have good PostScript viewers installed, but PDF viewers are common. So for viewing graphs, generate PDF files and open with the associated PDF viewer using cmd.exe's start command.

By default, the GraphWriter code assumes that the generic file open
program (`open` on Apple, `xdg-open` on other systems) can wait on the
forked proces to complete. When the fork ends, the code would delete
the temporary dot files created, and return.
On GNU/Linux, the xdg-open program does not have a "wait for your fork
to complete before dying" option. So the behaviour was that xdg-open
would launch a process, quickly die itself, and then the GraphWriter
code would think its OK to quickly delete all the temporary files.
Once the temporary files were deleted, the dot viewers would get very
upset, and often give you weird errors.
This change only waits on the generic open program on Apple platforms.
Elsewhere, we don't wait on the process, and hence we don't try and
clean up the temporary files.

Most desktop environments let the users specify his preferred application per
file type. On mac/linux we can use open/xdg-open for that and should try this
first before starting a heuristic search for various programs.

Avoid changing behaviour for everyone who's used to the traditional ghostview
UI, especially since it knows how to stay in the foreground unlike xdg-open.
Amendment to r210147.
llvm-svn: 210148
Replace the crufty build-time configure checks for program paths with
equivalent runtime logic.
This lets users install graphing tools as needed without having to reconfigure
and rebuild LLVM, while eliminating a long chain of inappropriate compile
dependencies that included GUI programs and the windowing system.
Additional features:
* Support the OS X 'open' command to view graphs generated by any of the
Graphviz utilities. This is an alternative to the Graphviz OS X UI which is
no longer available on Mountain Lion.
* Produce informative log output upon failure to indicate which programs can
be installed to view graphs.
Ping me if this doesn't work for your particular environment.
