[another newbie delurks]

Hi, Reid.  Been tinkering with LLVM about 2 weeks now.  I've been using the 
Stacker Compiler as an example so far for my own little project.  Is this tool 
you mentioned coming "Real Soon Now(tm)", or is it months away?  If its coming 
soon, should I avoid using the Stacker example as a template?  In other words, 
how much is this tool going to change the way one builds a frontend to LLVM? 
Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question, LLVM is still a new beast to me.

Thanks folks for your effort here, after looking at GCC sources to see what 
writing a frontend would be like, LLVM looks like manna from heaven.  Oh wait, 
that would make you guys.... uhh.... never mind.
