I am stilling searching for the answer whether or not clang, built with 
MingW/MSYS under Windows, is currently a workable version under Windows 
with the header files and libraries MingW and gcc supplies. Do you or 
anybody know this ? Or should I still be waiting on future clang 
development for this to become a reality ?
