clang64 environment

The clang64 environment is the only way to get the asan address sanitizer to work. But 'detect_leaks' does not work (see asan.env). use: make CLANGDIR=clang64 ...

Note that running the installer under windows will not work, as bdj4se will have the sanitizer linked in, and the sanitizer library path will not be found.
