[M3devel] multi-threaded m3front?

Sun Aug 9 21:20:01 CEST 2015

Right, agreed -- this should work for LLVM, and the C compiler.LLVM should be multi-threadable in-proc too.
Fixing m3front itself -- we'd have to identify and deal with all the globals.For the alloca/setjmp work I put the "globals" in Module.T.
