We don't support /all/ trunk revisions, but we don't like to force
upgrades
unless it's really needed so we try to at least support most recent
revisions.

One of the reasons is that not all of our developers use the same trunk
revision, and recompiling LLVM trunk is not something everyone likes to do once
a day. (It's nice if you can put it off for a couple of days without things
breaking)
