We don't support debian stable anyways. I am not even sure Rock builds on
debian stable.

The llvm-3.5 packages does not have the needed header again... *warghs*.

Big deal, we'll have to write a cmake macro (or even look for one on the
web) in order to get a full C++ compiler as a library. That sounds like a
fair deal to me. Moreover, clang-3.5-dev does include the header you've
listed.

Definitely not.

Getting annoyed because cmake integration does not "just work" when you are
looking at something as big as clang is ... a bit asking for too much.
