 I could raise the question on the lldb ML...

 My bad. I introduced the identifier change when I was setting up a variant
 that builds a static libllvm and thus allows to build a redistributable
 libclang. (Potential) ports that provide a clang-based parser could
 benefit from that as they could simply depend on *a* port providing
 libclang, without the need for installing a full clang port or clang-
 version variants. KDevelop is one such port, slated for release in a near
 future along with the other KF5 ports.
 It's been a while, but it looks that the identify change is required to
 make all the libraries load when using KDevelop and NOT using a
 redistributable build.

 The change basically locks the dylibs to their intended location; is there
 anything wrong with that?

 still hasn't been included (or rejected). Using another than the 4
 predefined build types it becomes possible to control the compiler flags
 (upstreams of what the buildsystem might do with them). Debian has a
 similar tactic (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debian), I presume for the same reason.

 OK, I'll see about that. I have a hunch that "they" will tell me just to
 use one of CMake's predefined types, and that if MacPorts wants better
 control over the compiler options it's their problem ;)
