Hi Tanya,

The OpenCL runtime library I am working on is an extension of another
project (KLEE) which uses the LLVM makefile system, and the easiest
way forward for me was to build the kernel runtime library using the
existing build system.

The second patch is really optional, as I was able to copy the .cl ->
.ll rule (which is all I need) to my runtime library makefile and use
it there without the patch, but the first patch makes it easier to
integrate support for new languages (either internally or externally).

Thanks,
