Actually it would quite an effort, because we are no longer using any 
packaged llvm. :(

This is because (at least for the time being) on the frontend-part can be 
used as a library. If you writing a backend and if you're adding 
intrinsics you need to handle llvm yourself to keep binary compatibility 
on the IR level and this is what we're doing now...

Sorry,
Patrick.
