Compiler settings

Hi Milian!

That not exactly the case. Actually it goes through all compilers (in
alphabetic order) and selects the first one that is installed. So, if
you don't have the Clang installed it'll select another compiler.

Thats the truth. But what about cross-compilation? In that case the
compiler is not installed in the default directory (e.g. Android NDK
comes with the GCC compiler). So imo it still makes sense to make
those items available. Otoh if the path to the compiler is wrong,
probably it makes sense to show some kind of warning then.

Yes, I know, I know... I've already done the initial blog:
http://sklin0.wordpress.com/tag/gsoc/
Also I've added it to the "Planet KDE": r1386072

Long story short - will update the status report and fix the compiler
issues this Wednesday or Thursday.
