   One of the following things would have to happen for that to be true:   
      
   - VSI produces and makes available an LLVM developer kit   
   - VSI pushes back upstream everything people would need to develop   
   compilers with LLVM   
   - People create their own port of LLVM for VMS   
      
   As of today, the only way to get LLVM on VMS is to get a compiler   
   produced by VSI, and those compilers are not going to be   
   redistributable. I think VSI has expressed an intention to push their   
   changes back upstream but that hasn't happened yet and they have a   
   mountain of work to do to get there.
