[PATCH] D61909: Add Clang shared library with C++ exports

[Chris Bieneman via cfe-commits]

The question is, what *should* it be called.

While yes, the 's' in 'so' is shared, the "dylib" and "dll" extensions on Darwin and Windows have the same meaning too. The problem is libclang.so is already taken.

I'm not attached to the name in any way, so I'm open to suggestions.

We do have documentation on best practices for how to build distributions, which includes explanations of how to pick and choose what you want to install (http://llvm.org/docs/BuildingADistribution.html <http://llvm.org/docs/BuildingADistribution.html>), so you shouldn't need an option to disable it.
