encode the *exact* semantics which the header search paths internally
built by the Frontend layer have had, which is both non-user-provided,
and at times adding the implicit extern "C" bit to the directory entry.

There are lots of CC1 options that are very close, but none do quite
this, and they are all already overloaded for other purposes. In some
senses this makes the command lines more clean as it clearly indicates
which flags are exclusively used to implement internal detection of
"standard" header search paths.

Lots of the implementation of this is really crufty, due to the
surrounding cruft. It doesn't seem worth investing lots of time cleaning
this up as it isn't new, and hopefully *lots* of this code will melt
away as header search inside of the frontend becomes increasingly
trivial.

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:
