I like the extension, but making our parsing of response files differ from GCC's in this regard might not be an improvements (e.g., the handling of the escaped new lines, and even the comments, could be a breaking change). Can you add a new parameter (e.g., bool ExtendedSyntax = false), and then predicate the new behavior on that? Then set that parameter to true when parsing config files from Clang?
