If you build using CMake then it'll all just work.

It's an example of a plugin.  I'm not sure whether the plugin mechanism
is the recommended way to do this kind of thing.

There's an -emit-ast argument to the front end, and in
tools/c-index-test example code reading it.  There's also a -bootcon
flag (search for BoostCon in the source) and that has access to the AST.
There's the clang-interpreter which could presumably be modified without
too much hassle.

I've no idea which would be the recommended way.
