Build shark against llvm 3.0 on mac os x [resend from correct acct]

[Chris Phillips]

Hi

Between jdk7 hsx21 and current hsx23 the support for the  non-Richochet
based JSR292 [invoke dynamic ] support that zero depended on was
removed. I am in the process of re-working zero's jsr 292 support
to function in  hsx23 environment.

Shark and especially LLVM 3.0 are more problematic, but after Zero is
working again we will see.
