Bug description:
Binary package hint: clang

The packages summary for the clang package currently reads:

  "Clang project is a new C, C++, Objective C and Objective C++ front-end
  for the LLVM compiler. Some of its goals include the following:
  .....
   *A single unified parser for C, Objective C, C++, and Objective C++
   * Conformance with C/C++/ObjC and their variants"

But, the c++ front-end is not included, but most would assume from the summary that it would be.

One of the following should happen to fix this issue:

 1) The package summary should specify that the c++ front-end is not included
 2) The front-end should be included in this package
 3) A new package "clang++" should be build
