I still do not see a roadmap for using clang with Boost Build under 
Windows to build/test Boost libraries.

Am I supposed to download a Windows snapshot from http://llvm.org/builds/ ?

Am I supposed to get the latest llvm/clang from 
http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html and build it for Visual Studio ( 
this never worked properly in the past and there is no mention of VS2012 
on that page ).

Am I supposed to use a 'clang' toolset on Windows with Boost Build ?

As usual, with no doubt all the "good" intentions in the world to allow 
clang to be used under Windows, the documentation, explanation, and 
support for clnag under Windows is lacking/minimal.
