There is a discussion on the LLVM mailing list about changing exception
handling in LLVM:
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2010-December/036692.html

If the new model is not generic enough to support OCaml's model, then I
think now would be a good time to describe on the LLVM ML what OCaml's
model would need and the proposal doesn't cover.
