[cfe-dev] Extracting Clang AST on Windows from Visual Studio solution

[Daniel Dilts]

You can download a Windows build of clang from http://llvm.org/builds/.
This will give you the option in Visual Studio of selecting LLVM/Clang as
the tool chain.  Since this is something along the lines of a plugin it
likely doesn't work for the Express version of visual studio, but it will
work for the Professional and higher versions.
