Forking an entire compiler within a

I think ROOT guys have good reasons to have a patched version of CLANG
if the new ROOT C++ interpreter they implement is called "cling"...
You can read more here: http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cling
OT: if I understand right, they're not patching/forking Clang to make it
a better compiler. They're essentially wrapping Clang with their own
code to provide reflection and an interactive command-line interpreter
for C++. That they can do it with ~7kLoC is pretty impressive.
