[LLVMdev] [MC] [llvm-mc] Getting target specific information to <target>ELFObjectWriter

Eli,

This is the kind of feedback I want. I believe I have to add to the base class so it should be generally useful. I can see string being better for the value. I still am enamoured with an enumeration for the tab though: int->string. How would that be a limitation?

How about the rest of the patch? 

I appreciate the feedback,

Jack

Just a quick question from an initial review: isn't the int->bool
mapping of flags a bit limiting. Flag can have actual values and not
only be there or not be there. Wouldn't a more generic mapping
(string->string ?) be more universally useful? Or am I missing
something obvious here...
