 - C backend: inline asm - don't add rsp/esp to the clobber list, it's deprecated in newer gcc versions and silently ignored in older versions 
 - github #309: token pasting operator '##' allows pasting of single '_' characters
 - fbc: re-add __FB_GUI__ intrinsic define - the change was clobbered for a time during fbc 1.08.0 development after basic-macros were added
+- llvm backend on Windows invokes clang.exe instead of llc.exe (which usually doesn't exist)
