Adding my own complaints to Emil's ones, I find amazing that such smart 
guys (they are writing a new compiler infrastructure for any 
architecture after all) :

- Change headers names between different versions. But then we can 
suppose that binary compatibility is not guaranteed, between minor 
versions ( LLVM 3.3 != LLVM 3.2 != LLVM 3.1...)

- Cannot ensure that two different versions of LLVM can work on the same 
system. For example, if I compile and install LLVM 3.1 on my Ubuntu 
12.04, then OpenGL examples crash when JIT is enabled, because 
apparently the OpenGL libraries are based on LLVM 3.0.
