@beanz, glad we're making progress!

One other thing, my next goal, after we can successfully build and test the `DistributionExample`,
is to make `DistributionExample_shared`.  I envision this creating `clang` that is dynamically linked
to `libclang_shared.so` and `libLLVM.so` and also provide the corresponding static libraries. Doing
this should provide Evangelos Foutras, whose is the maintainer of the llvm packages at Arch Linux,
an "easier" path to creating llvm Arch Linux packages that don't use BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.

Is this a reasonable goal and could `DistrubutionExample_shared` be added along side `DistributionExample`?
