Esp. for cross compile toolchains, we must be able to define different compilers to grab the default includes/defines from etc. pp. As such, I think the approach given here goes into the right direction.

My fear is that IBSM might become an ugly beast like ILanguageSupport where semantics are specified in random places and you need somebody who has spent several years in the project just to get another language supported.

I don't really have the energy to get this correctly, so please, at least document the shit out of this. :D
