 Basic example

   https://github.com/tritao/cxxi/blob/master/src/Parser/Parser.cpp

 Pros:
  * future proof -- gccxml's future compatibility with C++11 is not
 guaranteed
  * faster -- one of the main performance issues with the gccxml method
 right now is that we have to parse HUGE XML files

 Cons:
  * can be done "out-of-tree" (i.e. without requiring the llvm source tree)
 only on llvm/clang 3.1, which is not yet in ubuntu (it is only in debian
 unstable)
