I dunno. I can tell you from personal experience that it requires a
surprising amount of knowledge of how LLVM backends work --- I'm sure
it's trivial once you've written one, but then, once you've written one,
you don't need it...

That looks a lot easier to extract the logic from than the in-tree
backends; thanks. Any ideas why this never made it to the tree?
