I had a few comments about the design change that you're introducing 
with the patch:

This patch adds multiple points of control for adding a transition: 
there's now an addTransition() for DFA and another addTransition() for 
State that populate different data structures. We shouldn't need both. I 
am okay with transitions being folded into the State class if it results 
in significant speedup in DFA generation. But then please remove the 
Transition mechanism for the DFA class (stateTransitions).

For transitions being folded into State:
 > std::map<unsigned, Transition *> inputToTrans;

We don't need a map to Transition* here; we can directly map from input 
to stateNum. You should be able to use a LLVM data structure.
