Thanks for looking at llvm-config! However, I want everyone to  
understand that it is *not* finished work, and I'm only posting these  
patches for people to try out on scratch trees and give me feedback.  
My apologies for being unclear.

This code is not yet up to my usual standards for a CVS merge, so  
please tread with caution, everybody. I apologize for any unexpected  
holes in the floor. :-)

I sent out a followup e-mail about this bit of cruft, but it looks  
like I'm the only person on the 'To' list. You'd think after more  
than a decade of heavy e-mail use I'd understand "Reply to" by now. :-)

The patch was called "draft2" and not "done" for a reason. ;-) Could  
you send me a copy of your   final llvm-config script, and the output  
of "perl --version" so I can track this down?

I'll resync my Monotone tree with CVS tonight.

Thanks! I appreciate your help, and your interest in this script!

Cheers,
