Perhaps I should say what I really meant to say instead of vaguely
generalizing. :)
The thing that will exist at some point (hopefully soon) will be
essentially an emulator for LLVA. *THAT* is not intended for an
end-user, an end-user here being someone who is not a
compiler/architecture researcher or developer. This is because unlike
something such as VMware, it does NOT have off-the-shelf software it can
run, unless we make an effort to port it, or make LLVM able to compile
it.
THAT is what I meant. LLVA is a definitely for everyone, but as an
architecture implemented in hardware, not as an emulator.</I></FONT></PRE>
