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

84can be built outside of the research group. &nbsp;This entails:</li>
85
86 <ul>
87 <li>Modify the build environment so that it does not use absolute
88 paths.</li>
89 <li>Make the build environment more configurable via Makefile.config.<br>
90 </li>
91 <li>Add support for dynamic build configuration (i.e. autoconf
92or imake support).</li>

101 <li>Get the Reoptimizer code to work, ensuring that it does not rely
102 upon code outside of the source tree.<br>
103 </li>
104 <li>Create a structure that allows for the easy addition of outside
105 projects to the LLVM source tree.</li>
106 <li>Create a system for managing development and releases (i.e. CVS
107 branching, labeling revisions, etc).<br>
