Hi,

With the following change, I've updated MXE to use llvm-3.1. If it breaks horribly for everyone, we can consider downgrading, but if not, it makes my life easier.

Have you been following the maintainers llvm/jit thread?  Octave devel currently supports
llvm 3.1.and 3.2.  However, it does not yet support llvm 3.3 which id the current
level in Fedora 18 and 19. Max Brister recently said that he hopes to work on
support for 3.3 "soon."  llvm is under rapid development and they frequently
change the API and also the locations of files within the directory structure.
They do not seem to provide a simple method for determining what has changed.

Yes, I'm aware of all that. MXE was still using llvm-3.0. I already had a MSVC patch for llvm-3.1 and I knew octave was working with that version. So I bumped the version used in MXE to 3.1, because it was easier for me. When octave supports llvm-3.3, we can re-bump the version.
