Thanks Jeffrey, that was really very helpful! I have Pure working with
both the LLVM 2.6 release branch and the trunk now.

One thing I noticed is that writing LLVM assembler code (print()
methods) seems to be horribly slow now (some 4-5 times slower than in
LLVM 2.5). This is a real bummer for me, since Pure's batch compiler
uses those methods to produce output code which then gets fed into llvmc.

Is this a known problem? Will it be fixed until the 2.6 release?
