OK, I will look into this on Windows also.

What I am understanding is that I can build clang either to work with
the MingW RTL or the VC++ RTL on Windows. Up to now I have been
concentrating on using clang with the VC++ RTL.

I am trying to use Boost with clang on Windows. This means using Boost
Build, which also means using a clang toolset which will work in at
least setting up clang to compile and link Boost libraries.
