And how does clang find that link.exe on Windows ? Is it expected that 
the end-user must put it somewhere on his PATH ? Is the end-user 
supposed to be running clang from the command line within a VC++ CoMmand 
Prompt ( vcvarsall.bat setup ) ?

BTW is there any documentation anywhere on a web page about running 
clang on Windows ?

Thanks for the info.
