To change the host compiler, users will have to use
  nvcc -ccbin clang-3.8
if I'm not mistaken. We should include that in the NEWS entry.

I don't want to change the internal defaults from gcc to clang to avoid
surprises ...

maybe in debian/gcc,g++:

if no compiler is found, fail with an appropriate error message on stderr:

  ERROR: No supported gcc/g++ compiler found.
         You could try 'nvcc -ccbin clang-3.8' instead
