An llvm target will move the optimisation burden away from fpc, which

While we would welcome a LLVM backend it is basically a consent in the
development team that this would only be an additional alternative to
the normal backends FPC provides.
LLVM's target list doesn't look particularly brilliant compared with
FPC's :-/
Are there any practical advantages to having both? Could inspecting LLVM
output help in getting a native code generator off the ground, or does
it output enough debugging info to suggest novel optimisations?
