I haven't updated the examples or test code. Since a bunch of pull
requests are sitting over at bos/llvm I haven't bothered cleaning up
any additional patches. The alphaHeavy/llvm/llvm30 branch is just what
we run over here (without our internal test suite).

1) Removing concepts that are no longer needed, such as the
ModuleProvider abstraction (it's deprecated in LLVM 3.0) and the
EngineAccess monad (multiple JITs are allowed per process since LLVM
~2.8).

2) Adding or exposing LLVM functions that I find useful or
necessary... like exposing llvm::DisablePrettyStackTrace, which allows
one to disable LLVM's default assert behavior of calling exit().

3) Getting rid of the type-level package. I have a few modules that
take 10-20 minutes each and >4GB of ram to build mostly due to
type-level... and this is after reducing the number of cases
supported. I'm hoping GHC's type-nats are faster.

4) Providing better/easier support for emitting debug symbols.
