A lot of changes were suggested by Chris.
ExecveHandler.c:
* Use "" instead of <> for LLVM include files
* Use raw I/O, we don't need buffering
* Set errno = 0 before using open()
* strlen() doesn't count NULL terminator in its size
* Use memcmp() instead of strcmp()
* Return result of the real execve(), not 0
* Search for path to bytecode file if not absolute/relative path
SysUtils.c:
* Convert all comments to C-style
* Stop using `bool', use `unsigned' instead
SysUtils.h:
* Stop using `bool', use `unsigned' instead
* Updated comment to FindExecutable()
README.txt:
* Describe the goal of LLEE and an application
