Builds and webrevs

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi Alex,
we do have foreign+vector which is similar to amber-demo in spirit, that 
is, it attempts to showcase all that's available in the repo.

Building foreign is non trivial though, because of its dependency with 
libclang... for Linux and Mac it should be ok to just grab one of the 
LLVM binary snapshots available here:

http://releases.llvm.org/download.html#7.0.0

And point configure at it (--with-lib-clang=<path to LLVM snapshot>)

Thanks!
Maurizio
