You are right. I never got clang to work on Windows, either with MingW 
or VC++. Nor did I get any real support on the clang mailing list, which 
is really just a clang developer mailing list since there is no clang 
user mailing list. So I do not think that clang for Windows is a reality 
in any meaningful way.

It's a wonderful compiler but only for non-Windows use.
