Abhijit,

Although LLVM has a large code base, the LLVM IR is about as simple as 
a compiler IR can get without becoming trivial.  And writing a useful 
language front-end (say, C) is a lot of work, no matter how simple the 
IR.   If you want a simpler overall system than LLVM, you're still 
probably better off adopting the IR and LLVM core and the minimal 
passes you want (as opposed to writing your own).
