Hi Chris,

I was thinking about my problem and thought that there might be a good 
interim solution. I would like not to clutter my front end with stuff 
that will go away. How about a pass that runs before code generation 
that changes functions returning structs to void functions with the 
return pointer first parameter?

I've not written an LLVM pass (yet), and I'd I'd like to get my feet 
wet. Does this seem like a reasonable (temporary) solution to this problem?
