As Tanya said, it's usable if you have llvm, but doesn't require llvm- 
gcc.  clang isn't going to be an official part of the 2.1 release  
because it's not generally useful for people yet (but is a great tool  
to build on top of).

It uses different APIs and would require significant work to  
backport.  Anything is possible though :)
