I was thinking of something simple like this:

[.c]

compile  = cc1 %in -o %out
optimize = gccas %in -o %out.bc
link     = gccld ...

[.cpp]

compile  = cc1plus %in -o %out
...

etc.  Something like that.  The exactly details are still very much up in
the air, but just simple key/value pairs is all we should need.
