Because everything in my (Qt) application is a plugin, so LLVM is a plugin
which can be used by other plugins that need LLVM's functionalities. This
all works fine with MinGW on Windows, and gcc on Linux and Mac OS X, but now
I need to get things to work with MSVC on Windows and I am kind of stuck.
