1. Simply by doing "import lldb" in case the system python installation is aware of lldb.
If that fails,
2. Executes the lldb executable pointed to by the LLDB environment variable (or if unset,
the first lldb on PATH") with the -P flag to determine the PYTHONPATH to set. If the
lldb executable returns a valid path, it's added to sys.path and the import is attempted
again. If that fails, 3. On Mac OS X the default Xcode 4.5 installation path.
