i do think differently. :) first, i think you can rename executables to 
whatever you like. previously i made this functionality in a tool called Bear. 
within 4 years got more than 100 bug reports, improvement ideas, but nobody did 
care about the executable name. second, i'm not a native speaker, but to me 
'intercept compiler calls from build' can be shortened to 'intercept-build'. 
third, if i rename the executable from intercept-build, shall rename the 
intercept module too? and to be honest, the executable name scan-build just as 
bad as intercept-build. :) if i did not convinced you, give me a name and i 
will rename to it.

thought to have more distribution channel is better. but if that so confusing, 
i've deleted it.

good point. added some implementation. if you don't like the text, please 
suggest one instead and will replace.

the comment says exactly the value coming from the compilation database. anyway 
added more explanations. if you have something in mind, please write the text 
and will copy it.
