+This project is a extremely simple example of two things: building an LLVM
+"project" and using some simple pieces of the LLVM API.  The actual executable
+generated by this project simply emits an LLVM bytecode file to standard output.
+It is designed to show some basic usage of LLVM APIs, and how to link to LLVM
+libraries.
