+- Clang now supports configuration files. These are collections of driver
+ options, which can be applied by specifying the configuration file, either
+ using command line option `--config foo.cfg` or encoding it into executable
+ name `foo-clang`. Clang behaves as if the options from this file were inserted
+ before the options specified in command line. This feature is primary intended
+ to facilitate cross compilation. Details can be found in
