[C--] C-- compared to LLVM

Hello.

Reading C-- FAQ, i was particularly astonished by these features:

* Optimized tail calls to any procedure
* Ways to tie garbage-collection information to particular program points
* Support for exceptions
* Support for lightweight concurrency

These four feel enough to make wanting to write a frontend.

Main page states that "You might use somebody else's [machine code
generator]: perhaps VPO, MLRISC, or the gcc back end."
So, the question is, how LLVM fits in here? I understand that LLVM is
not really same thing. But it's kinda close, right? They may and are
used for similar tasks.

Choosing between C-- and LLVM backend, what would you consider?
