[LLVMdev] Using LLVM to target the JVM

Hi,

I'm interested in using LLVM to run source languages supported by GCC
(mostly just C and Fortran, actually) on a JVM.  There seem to be two
general ways this could be accomplished.

1. LLVM bytecodes could be compiled to JVM bytecodes
2. LLVM bytecodes could be interpreted by a program running on a JVM

Has anybody started work in either direction?  Has anyone started work on
anything similar, like compiling to CLR or writing a LLVM interpreter in C#?

Thanks,
Curt
