Thanks ! The ideal is to get Templight into clang directly so that 
building clang just builds Templight also. It is great that the way 
clang is designed it can provide advanced tools for programmers to use, 
and I applaud that effort by clang developers such as yourself.

I will use the "issue" feature of Github if I run into anything I do not 
understand when trying to use Templight.
