well, I love this project and happy to come back. Nevertheless
also for those like me -- after several years tracking
the project -- some helper is needed. Indeed, Bugzilla
gives no quick overview on where LLVM is and where it is
going to.

thanks for info, Reid, I will look at this.

smth different. As I have found recently, at the end of April
LLVM is likely to be branched for version 2.0
As one could guess some major changes are to be
introduced. It would be nice to get a rough idea
about the vector of new changes.
