Is it possible to hook this up into lld later as well, in case most of the actual functionality is in libs and not in the dlltool frontend? That at least seems to be the case, so that's good. (I guess I can try to do that myself once the rest of this has landed as well.)


Code was already migrated from LLD to LLVM so that LLD, llvm-lib and llvm-dlltool can share the same code base.
I purposefully done this with llvm-lib in mind, you just need to hook up the frontend api of llvm-lib to COFFModuleDefinition and the Archiver to achieve this.
