Part of the reason why Macro-32 was first is that it needed the fewest pieces to get
it native.  It still needed changes since the "assembler" interface to a current
LLVM is different than the interface for the LLVM 3.4.2 code-base.  Plus
it all relied on a C++ compiler since all of LLVM is in C++ along with a single
module inside the XMACRO compiler.
