Hi Rafael,

1:
Current thoughts here are to drop the repackaged LLVM entirely and to deprecate 
support for system-installed LLVM in favor of the bytecode interpreter.  If we 
put in time to update support for system-installed LLVM, we'd be better served 
by aiming at the newest releases.   Now that said, please note that LLVM's 
major version number started accelerating only in the last 3 years or so 
(http://releases.llvm.org/).  They have very few minor releases these days.

2:
I am curious about switching from autotools to CMake, though that's a pretty 
huge task, and I've probably heard as much or more griping about Cmake as I 
have about autotools. I'd like to spend more time weighing pros and cons.

Hi there everyone, two quick questions:

1) With 0.100.0 series release (congratulations everyone) and the deprecation 
of the repackaged LLVM, are we planning on updating the integration so it works 
with more recent LLVM releases? The 3.6 or lower requirement is going to be 
increasingly hard to meet when upstream is up to 7.x.

2) With regards to build systems, would there be any appetite for a migration 
from autotools to CMake? The benefits here would be better tooling integration 
(since CLion and Visual Studio supports it natively) and making the source code 
more approachable to new developers. Needless to say, this is not something 
worth PR’ing if there is no appetite for it.

Thanks!
