One nice feature of LLVMC is that one doesn't have to distinguish
between different compilers for different languages (think ``g++`` and
``gcc``) - the right toolchain is chosen automatically based on input
language names (which are, in turn, determined from file
extensions). If you want to force files ending with ".c" to compile as
C++, use the ``-x`` option, just like you would do it with ``gcc``::

To build your plugin as a dynamic library, just ``cd`` to its source
directory and run ``make``. The resulting file will be called
``LLVMC$(LLVMC_PLUGIN).$(DLL_EXTENSION)`` (in our case,
``LLVMCMyPlugin.so``). This library can be then loaded in with the
``plugin_llvmc_$(LLVMC_PLUGIN).$(DLL_EXTENSION)`` (in our case,
``plugin_llvmc_MyPlugin.so``). This library can be then loaded in with the

Start by compiling ``example/Simple``, which is a primitive wrapper for

$ cp -r example/Simple plugins/Simple
