LLVM advantages are well known, but IMO alternative D Frontends like DIL 
should have a LLVM backend because this will open us a backdoor to DOT 
NET via MSIL

LLVM now has a new MSIL backend. llc -march=msil will now turn LLVM into 
MSIL (".net") bytecode. This is still fairly early development with a 
number of limitations.

Problems? Yes indeed ...
