Kai Nacke is actually the one who has been doing most of the work 
to keep LDC compiling against latest LLVM trunk (and by 
extension, also the releases). But yes, being able to build 
against latest LLVM was pretty much a necessity for us this time 
around, as Kai did quite a lot of work to improve support for 
Win64 and PPC64 on the LLVM recently, and LDC/MinGW also relies 
on a few tiny patches I submitted a while ago.
