I spent some time today trying to package up julia. It's pretty messy and this is no where near complete (it still downloads packages and fails to build due to https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/933), but thought I'd put it out there in case anyone else wants to play with it.
I'm interested in your experience with LLVM. We used it to create the Shark Java VM, but we had a lot of difficulty with LLVM JIT stability on non-x86 targets. If LLVM is looking healthier it might be interesting to revisit Shark, which essentially combines HotSpot and LLVM to create a portable JVM.
