We don't currently install Clang libraries (or headers) because, at  
the time that we wrote the makefiles, we didn't consider them stable  
enough for external tools to be built on them. However, the interfaces  
are probably "stable enough" now (by LLVM's definition of API  
stability), that it's reasonable to start installing Clang libraries +  
headers.

You would need to remove the

	NO_INSTALL = 1

lines from the Clang library makefiles and add some makefile magic to  
install the Clang headers. (Plus, CMake
