Beyond the complicated things you plan to do with config files and
other stuff...

1) What should us humans do in the meantime? If it's not done in 30
days can we consider something simple which gets the job done?

2) Instead of having the compiler read a config file *every* time -
would it be possible to just compile that into the driver?
Implementation detail, but keep installs a bit less complicated.

For example - where would the config file live? /etc/clang ? What
happens if a config file is installed globally, but you don't want
your local built compiler to use it? (Can you turn it off or
statically compiler your preferred version in)

3) If someone who understands this proposal - would you confirm that
it will allow

clang foo.c # No flags or triples or tuples or gimples.. it just works
and magically underneath will be gnu-free
