Please people, let's stay on the same line of thought here!  We are only
be discussing CIL because:

a) Seb. coined that he wants to make a CIL *front end*.  CIL is
   just byte code.  And a CIL front end is just like any other
   front end:  The C front end does C->GENERIC, a CIL front end
   would do CIL->GENERIC.

b) CIL is a concurrency-aware IR that we can look at and learn
   from.  This is the "don't re-invent the wheel" part.

For all I care, we drop the (a) part now and go on with the more
relevant point (b) from here.
