[LLVMdev] delete/creates modules

[Scott Michel]

No, the CellSPU backend (still being written) merely generates code  
for the SPU. It's like a regular compiler. No extra module creation  
or destruction.

LLVM will need some work to create a single, unified executable or  
even JIT code for both the PPU and SPU at the same time.
