[cfe-dev] Default Headers with CompilerInstance

[Manuel Klimek]

See here for what's needed to build a tool on top of clang:
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/cfe/trunk/lib/Tooling/Tooling.cpp?revision=166508&view=markup
(the solution is to use the Driver, which handles finding of builtin and
system includes)

Alternatively, you can just use the tooling library :) (see
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LibTooling.html)

Cheers,
/Manuel
