I think he's observing that a majority of the tutorial code is  
actually spent on the lexer and parser, not on the llvm-specific pieces.

Sure, the existing tutorial would be shorter if the lexer/parser used  
lex/yacc too, but that wasn't the goal :).  The goal was the make it  
as simple and easy for newbies to understand, even if they didn't have  
any previous compiler experience.
