Sorry for the late response :)

I already know the LLVM project and looks pretty interesting for
boomerang. But looks like boomerang will enter into a highly unstable
development stage :/ I would rather prefer to have the segfaults and
library path issues fixed together with a release before doing the LLVM
integration which is pretty interesting but imho requires too much work,
and the project needs at least one stable release before this big
step :)

Yes, I don't like C++ and the patches I provided where merely fixed the
problems I had while trying to use it and not receive segfaults.

Finding segfaults in C++ is somewhat crazy and insane. I hope you can
sleep well after this work :)

Another problem that avoids the use of boomerang in a normal system is
the impossiblity to have it installed because it's always looking for
the libraries in ./lib/. Will be this fixed in cvs too? is there a
hidden SVN repository or it is just a legend? :)

Thanks!
