Isn't there a tool to turn bitcode into human readable text? I have been 
reading about the internals of LLVM lately (I'm planning on making a new 
backend) and the whole infrastructure reminds me a lot of the Amsterdam 
Compiler Kit (ACK). They had a program to turn binary EM code into ASCII, 
making it easy to dump the output to |more or less during debugging.
