This is in limbo, because for normal release builds my intended patch to allow 
loading Clang plugins under libclang does not work.

Clang plugin loading under libclang is a general problem, not related to 
Clazy.

See this thread for the discussion: 
  http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2016-March/047639.html

And my patch (stalled):
  https://reviews.llvm.org/D15729

Happy to get some help/ideas there so we can finally load e.g. Clazy under 
such setups.

Cheers,
Kevin
