[LLVMdev] LLVM OCaml Tutorial

[Chris Wailes]

I would consider doing this, but one of the main reasons I couldn't use the
main tutorial was because the Fedora 10 camlp4 package was messed up and the
pre processors weren't linked correctly (I don't think Fedora likes OCaml
much).  Anyway, I think it might be best to not include camlp4 macros in the
parser, simply to reduce the number of tools that someone needs to know to
understand the files.  If they know camlp4 they can always add support for
it in their own projects or as an exercise in understanding the tutorial
code.
