(I use clang-cl, but only to run LO's Clang plugin also on Windows, to 
catch issues in Windows-specific LO code.  My build explicitly disables 
use of PCH, for one because clang-cl didn't support it yet back when I 
set this up, for another because my fear would be that PCH negatively 
affects the quality of the plugin diagnostics by increasing the set of 
included files, and for yet another because build times are not that 
relevant for my occasional clang-cl builds, anyway.)
