It's becoming all too clear to me that Clang was not, in fact, designed as a library, except for some uses supporting Intellisense and such. Here's an unfortunate and simple example. Clang has acres of code (it's really quite a lot) to handle finding G++ include paths. But it's impossible to re-use this code in Wide because their structure talks in terms of Clang driver command-line arguments. So now I can't deploy Wide to Unix systems because I can't find the G++ include paths, which vary a lot more than you'd expect from system to system (why? who knows). Clang can find them, but good luck actually getting that to function when you're using Clang as a library.
This is a prime example of what I want to avoid with Wide.
