These variants are still useful, for instance if the users wants to use the cocoa graphical backend, as these only works when built with clang, so on systems that don't use this as a default compiler, its convenient to have the clang variants as a fall back.

It won't help, as i think only on OSX 10.8 is there a system clang compiler that works with the cocoa backend. On older OS X versions i suspect macports clang is the only option, and i don't want to make that the default compiler on these systems, just for this one option, that isn't that commonly used anyway.
