Unfortunately, libc++, as of a few weeks ago, was having problems with
a simple hello world program:

  http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8992#c7

A partial solution for linux was proposed here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/13110

However, that wouldn't handle microsoft's standard lib, as indicated
here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/13151

I'd guess Howard would appreciate feedback on how to do solve the
microsoft problem (as well as any other platform) on that thread.
