[LLVMdev] #include <iostream>

It seems that when compiling Debug versions of LLVM, we use stream
manipulators (like std::hex) on the new LLVM streams, and doing so
causes a compiler error when compiling LLVM with GCC 3.4.0.

I commited a fix to work around the problem, but it seems to me it would
be better if LLVM streams could support common stream manipulators.

First, has anyone else experienced the compiler error I ran into?  And
second, is there any easy way to get LLVM streams to work with standard
stream manipulators?
