I think that we can really pick any name that we want. We don't have to go
along with "tradition" and name it "cc". Personally, compiler collection
is kinda lame anyways. I'm all about something short though, so "llvmc" is
my vote.

Ok. So i voted, so now can we tally the votes and put this discussion to
an end? ;)
