Congratulations on the release David, this looks very interesting. I
had wondering what you were targeting given your series of questions
to the mailing list :) Just a note to say that in VideoCore parlance
this is an LLVM backend for the VPU. An interesting complimentary
project would be an LLVM backend targetting the QPU (which are
actually publicly documented via
http://www.raspberrypi.org/a-birthday-present-from-broadcom/).
