[cfe-dev] VS2017: LLVM Compiler Toolchain Plugin

[Zachary Turner via cfe-dev]

Nice!  Thanks for your early feedback too.  The one remaining thing which
I’d like to add is the ability to print the input file name to stdout.
Currently when you build a large project you see no output and it looks
like the build is hung, potentially for several minutes.  It would be nice
to match what msvc does and generate build output
