LLVM/Clang support is trivial. Erwin Lansing fired up an experimental
ports build for us and the numbers are *very* promising. There are still
some issues with the compiler itself, but so far it seems the only
architectural change to the tree that needs to be made, is a hint to
fall back to C89.

This is not just about LLVM/Clang support. If the GCC folks ever decide
to switch to C99 by default, we'll have exactly the same issue.
