No problem, writing that fibonacci example forced me to read up 
Stuff about LLVM I need to know anyway (for making the D API)^^
Just one thing I forgot to mention: When you're using 
llvm.util.memory.toCString you'll need to take care of the 
allocated memory yourself, or you'll get memory leaks. The 
example is a special case as all the c strings need to be kept 
aroound until program termination, anyway (since LLVM's global 
context exists until then and all the c strings used by LLVM 
internally), but that's not the case with all LLVM C functions 
with c string args.
