[LLVMdev] Building LLVM as a shared library using Visual C++ 2010?

[Nathan Jeffords]

It seems to be that LLVM  doesn't make sense as a shared library. The
surface area of the interface is massive, and in constant flux. I would
think in real world situations, a domain specific interface with a more
focused public interface would the right solution.
