After considering this more, and some discussion on IRC, I've decided  
that this is a good way to proceed, and will hopefully obviate the  
need to pass LLVMContext's into most APIs, including the AllocaInst  
change.

Look for the introduction of contexts-on-types in the near future, and  
the removal of LLVMContext parameters from methods where it can be  
inferred from a Type.
