I'm not sure there *is* any OTS GC code that can be reused easily
because GC is almost always tightly integrated with the language
runtime.  The only existing system I am aware of that really was
designed to have interchangeable GC is Larceny Scheme ... but I don't
know if Larceny's API is compatible with LLVM.
