[New-bugs-announce] [issue35244] Allow to setup Clang as default compiler for modules build

[Jaime Torres]

New submission from Jaime Torres <jtamate at gmail.com>:

Clang is not in the list of allowed compilers when executed:
python setup.py build --help-compiler

  --compiler=bcpp     Borland C++ Compiler
  --compiler=cygwin   Cygwin port of GNU C Compiler for Win32
  --compiler=mingw32  Mingw32 port of GNU C Compiler for Win32
  --compiler=msvc     Microsoft Visual C++
  --compiler=unix     standard UNIX-style compiler

I've tried to use the value unix in windows, to see if it will search for environment variables CC and CXX, but without success.
