Hi Tobias,

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I really hope that the possibilities of clang and the llvm toolchain,
to really make Qt everywhere a reality, are in the qt/nokia team's
sights.
I'm actually thinking of using the clang front-end as the core of
qt-creator fork to enable all sorts of neat possibilities.
