-If you have the LLVM distribution, you will need to unpack it before you
-can begin to compile it. LLVM is distributed as a set of two files: the LLVM
-suite and the LLVM GCC front end compiled for your platform. There is an
-additional test suite that is optional. Each file is a TAR archive that is
-compressed with the gzip program. The WinZip program can also unpack this
-archive. Only the LLVM suite is usable with Visual Studio.
