I suggest you open an issue on the Python bug tracker with a diff patch 
of your suggested changes.  But, FWIW, clang is being used today with 
Distutils on some platforms, at least, like OS X.  On current versions 
of Python on Unix-y platforms, you should be able to dynamically 
override which compiler Distutils is looking for by using the CC and 
possibly the LDSHARED environment variables.
