well building inside the clang source tree is the easiest way, while in 
the proof-of-concept phase.

ubuntu 12.04 comes with libclang-3.0 (hmm...)
ubuntu 14.04 comes with libclang-3.4
debian comes with 3.4 and 3.3...

so as long as we only link and don't patch i don't see a reason to 
compile libclang at all? maybe 3.0 is a bit too old, but i can't see in 
that direction yet. even than, tools like "YouCompleteMe" (syntax 
completion engine for vim) downloads a libclang-3.4 tar.gz from their 
servers and links to it. no compilation.

and getting the right set of libs after the proof-of-concept phase could 
be hardcoded in the typelib-cmakelists?
