nice work, I think you've made quite a progress here, but on the other hand
it should be clear that the LLVM backend is the future and we should

I'm not sure that's really true. My impression is that LLVM has a
number of problems that make it annoying to work with, and in the end
it could very well turn out that the better approach would have been
to just improve the existing code. Of course I'm not really a fan of
using C++ (and operator overloading in particular) here either, but I
think it would be interesting to see how far this branch can go, and
how it compares to the LLVM backend in the end.
Well apart from a bit strange coding style and the use of SVN, I can't
really see any problems that are related to using LLVM as it is.
Compiling shaders takes a bit more time and things like indirect
adressing isn't well supported yet, but that's not really a problem with
LLVM itself, but rather a problem of how we use it today.
Christian.
