One of the main design concerns is that llvmc2 should be completely
self-hosted. No extra perl/python/lua/php/whatever_language_your_know
interpreter. Thus is generated c++ sources from .td descriptions. 

Allowing you to write plugins in arbitrary language, which will
dynamically populate compilation graphs, etc is just nice "side
effect" :)
