one more misspelling:

in readme.llvm from llvm-gcc4 front-end source directory there is the
following line (51):

$ ../llvm-gcc4-x.y.source/configure --prefix=`pwd`/../install/
--enable-llvm=$LLVMOBJDIR --enable-languages=c,c++$EXTRALANGS $TARGETOPTIONS

the value of the --prefix key ends with slash and it's not right. at least
the front-end fails to build under cygwin because one more slash is appended
automatically by building script.

glad if it'll be helpful to somebody.

thanks

I've updated README.LLVM on mainline SVN.  Thanks!
