[LLVMdev] Suggestion for VM porting to LLVM

[Gabriele Farina]

Well, you are right :)

In fact I've started porting the VM in the spare time and it is  
working fine. I'm still having some issues to understand the garbage  
collector, but I'll delve more into it as soon as the other features  
will be complete
