Ah, I see the confusion.  I'm not generating the llvm code to run
within the haskell process.  It'll be written as bitcode to disk, and
run with lli as a separate process, with its own set of command-line
arguments.

Here, I'll give the details.

I'm writing a haskell program that takes in a text file describing a
structure.  It will generate an llvm bytecode'd program defining
main(), that will read its first argument to be a shared memory
handle, attach that handle to its own address space, and read one of
those structures out of it, dumping it to the console via printf().

So, I need to figure out how to read the arguments passed to my
llvm-generated main.
