Well first of all we need to wait for the release version of LLVM
(2.7) because that has the patch required for GHC.

I haven't tried it, but from this:

    http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/Backends/LLVM/Installing

it seems that the ghc doesn't actually need the llvm bindings.

My interest in haskell-llvm is actually for sythensizer-llvm and
the DDC compiler :-).
