Ah, most excellent! Have you started this effort? If not, would it be
of any help if I setup the basic infrastructure? More concretely I was
thinking about creating a simple C++-11/14 project in GitHub that uses
CMake to create a libtooling-based binary. It would be a copy of an
appropriate libtooling example[1]. I can setup travis, etc. You could
take it from there when you get time.

Also do you have a name for the tool.

Cheers

Marco
