We've been working on infrastructure to do exactly that, but it didn't
get included in mainline (see
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-dev/2011-June/015434.html,
which includes a patch that should still apply somewhat clean). We're
currently working on different options to get it open sourced.

The architectural idea is that you have a clang-fixit tool that uses
cmake's ability to output compile commands to apply all possible fixes
that clang suggests on a file.
