Yes, lots of stuff is still missing. But what do you mean by "files project 
manager"? The project managers are not related to language support, you should 
be able to use the existing make file project manager with clang just fine.

The rest we simply need to implement.

Depends. Quite some few functions are imo better to be reimplemented using the 
clang-API. Others might be able to be copied first to get something working 
but should then be cleaned up. This should be decided on a case-by-case study. 
Generally, I don't think putting these things into kdevplatform makes sense as 
the code only is relevant to C++ plugins (or is it?). So from the list above, 
I'd say its going to be 1 or 3.
