//
// This tool is used by the gccld program to enable transparent execution of
// bytecode files by the user.  Specifically, gccld outputs two files when asked
// to compile a <program> file:
//    1. It outputs the LLVM bytecode file to <program>.bc
//    2. It outputs a stub executable that runs lli on <program>.bc
//
// This allows the end user to just say ./<program> and have the JIT executed
// automatically.  On unix, the stub executable emitted is actually a bourne
// shell script that does the forwarding.  Windows doesn't not like #!/bin/sh
// programs in .exe files, so we make it an actual program, defined here.
