<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
This document is a list of things to do before the LLVM project is publicly
released. &nbsp;It will provide a checklist so that we know what has been
done and what is left to be done. &nbsp;It will also keep a "wishlist" of
desirable features.

<ul>
<li>Modify the build environment so that the LLVM utilities
can be built outside of the research group. &nbsp;This entails:</li>
<ul>
<li>Modify the build environment so that it does not use absolute
paths.</li>
<li>Make the build environment more configurable via Makefile.config.<br>
</li>
<li>Add support for dynamic build configuration (i.e. autoconf
or imake support).</li>
<li>Ensure that all build types (debug, optimized, profile) work
correctly.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>Ensure that the C front end compiles and installs nicely.</li>
<li>Place the C front end into the CVS repository.<br>
</li>
<li>Get the Reoptimizer code to work, ensuring that it does not rely
upon code outside of the source tree.<br>
</li>
<li>Create a structure that allows for the easy addition of outside
projects to the LLVM source tree.</li>
<li>Create a system for managing development and releases (i.e. CVS
branching, labeling revisions, etc).<br>
</li>
