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.

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.

XCode 4.6.x have the same version of clang on both Lion and Mountain Lion.  I suspect that if it works on ML, it should work on Lion.

SL is quite dated at this point...
