It is a very good idea, and I'll look into it.

However, I should point out that there are a few fundamental differences 
in what LLVM supports and what PXC would need to do. What I think I 
would need to do is to make some adaptations to LLVM to be able to use 
it. I suspect I'd need to make a fork. But it might be possible.

Many thanks
