[LLVMdev] LLVM C bindings

[Lennart Augustsson]

The API function that gives you a pointer to the jit-ed function will
be available in the next release of LLVM.
You're not the only only one who's missed it.

But I wish the Pass Manager API was more complete.  I might do that if
I have a some time left over.
