An enhancement request:

It would be very helpful if LLVM could be installed somewhat like a regular
library for using the JIT capabilities in other SW packages.  Something like:
libX86LLVM.a, libPPCLLVM.a, etc..  I suspect there must be some good reason why
some of the files are distributed as .o files.  But if feasible, this unified
library approach would make it much easier to detect and include LLVM as a
JIT-engine in the build process.  Some similar thoughts from Tom Tromey here:
