[llvm-dev] Migrating the llvm-emacs mode to a separate git repository

[Stephen Crane via llvm-dev]

I am in favor of doing whatever is needed in order to get llvm-mode back
into melpa. It's much more convenient than keeping my own .el copy up to
date (even though, or perhaps because, I have too many local llvm
checkouts).

Maybe someone can maintain an unofficial mirror of just utils/emacs on
github and melpa can pull from there?
