The code is still work in progress. You find it in ECL's repository under
src/new-cmp. I am right now refactoring it so that both compilers share more
code and I can make further progress, but the new compiler is not yet able
to build itself.

The goal is not to use clang, but rather to first have a different
intermediate representation, based on static-single-assignment in a kind of
lispy language (but imperative, not functional) and then have different
backends: one based on what we do now, another one that uses llvm's SSA
compiler for the llvm virtual machine to produce code, another one that
targets our current bytecodes interpreter (or some improved version of
it...)

The other task, embedding clang, would be orthogonal to that and could be
reused.
