Hi,

I don't know what is the best. But here is what I know now:

clang-xcode5-wrapper.hs (*1) works as a wrapper in many cases so
far. We need to change the value of "C compiler command" in
settings(*2).

Unfortunately, in some commands, hsc2hs for instance, the command name
"gcc" is hard coded. So, clang-xcode5-wrapper.hs should be installed
as "gcc".  This "gcc" should have higher priority than /usr/bin/gcc in
PATH.

One concern is that users would get troubles with this new gcc.
