[Compilercache-general] Making it easier to plug in new compilers

[Jochen V. <jv...@we...>]

Hello,

with the COMPILERNAMES variable it is not to hard to
plug new compilers into compilercache.  But still
there is duplicated information: the compilernames are
enumerated both, in the COMPILERNAMES variable and (as
link names) in the COMPILERCACHEBINDIR directory.

My question is: is there any reason for this
duplication?  Why not just use the links in
COMPILERCACHEBINDIR?  The reasoning "if the link is
there, it will be a valid compiler name" sounds really
convincing, doesn't it?

What do you think,
Jochen
