[llvm-dev] WebAssembly into normal Target?

[Eric Christopher via llvm-dev]

Right. The idea behind experimental is mostly to:

a) make sure it's not just a code drop on the community,
b) make sure people care and that it'll be properly maintained,
c) ensure that the development work on it isn't going to break anything
else.

As far as I can tell while the ports need some work in some places, it's
ongoing and not likely to break anything else in tree. Or at least haven't
broken me and I'm running with them turned on :)
