Sounds great - I think the goals here extend just slightly past what is 
needed for clang and I'm eager to review the work. When you say Fortran 
- do you mean building the Fortran .mod (modules). I assume that without 
a Fortran compiler this can be disabled.. (please do make sure it's 
optional component)

If you really want to get fancy - we should figure out a couple things

1) Is the library intended to be built with the system compiler or the 
"just built" clang - assuming this integrates into the higher level 
build system like compiler-rt

2) Will it support cross compiling. (x86 host and PPC64 target)
-------
Release and Debug build types are built-in to cmake and I'm not sure 
what specifically you'd change there..
