  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.

              <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>

        <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>
