i'm working in a christian doppler laboratory. projects are funded partially by industry and the developed code "belongs" to the partner company 
unless they decide to release it. i would have to talk to them and see what i can do. furthermore, there's a generic solver that has been implemented 
by bernhard scholz (university of sydney) [1]. it's free for research purposes but would have to be re-licensed for llvm. however, the latter would be 
no problem if you just want to play with it.

note that the implementation is pretty stable but sincerely not ready for prime time. several parts would have to be revised and/or replaced and some 
design decisions would probably be different for a production quality system vs. a research prototype.
