Looks good to me.  Could you go ahead and push this to svn and also do similar changes to the llvm-3.8 port for your openmp variant?

Thanks,
Jeremy

This variants pulls in port:libomp and sets up clang such that "-fopenmp" will use it by default. This makes it much more likely for tools like autoconf to detect OpenMP support. (Without the variant, openmp support is still there, but it requires -fopenmp=libomp, which isn't in the set of standard "can we do OpenMP" flags.) If people are supportive of it, I would suggest making it a default variant.

(Without the extra -I and -L)... Let me know if there is interest and I can rework the libomp port to support this.
