[LLVMdev] LLVM IR is a compiler IR

Now that the dust begins to settle... I'm wondering whether LLVM is for me.

I'm working on something that can be used to create software for 
different environments: C/C++, JVM, CLR, Parrot, etc.
I.e. one language for different environments, but not write once, run 
anywhere.

Now what would be the role of LLVM in such an infrastructure?
Just backend for C/C++ linkage, and I should go and look elsewhere for 
JVM/CLR/whateverVM?
Should I look into LLVM subprojects? Which ones?

Regards,
Jo
