between the "Getting Started Quickly" and "Getting Started Slowly" sections.
:)
Removed some of the nit-picky requirements information (i.e. GNU tar and
GNU zip).
Attempted to compact the requirements information so that it is less scary.

Refer to the various "modules" of bugpoint as "debuggers", not
"debugging modes" or "modules". I think this is more evocative of
how they typically act, and it's shorter.
Add a note about how a linker bug can crash bugpoint early.

Add Design Philosophy as a separate subsection. Clarify its last sentence.
Give Automatic Mode Selection a uniquely-named anchor.
Always call the program the "test program", instead of the "initial program",
the "LLVM program", the "test case", the "resultant module", etc.
Try to explain the assumptions a little more, instead of just describing the
process.

* Stop using full pathnames (we don't know where the source could be)
* Use only relative distance to the source, so a user can download the code and
generate their own copy of the doxygen documentation easily
* Since `docs' has moved one level up, all relative path names lost a `..'

LLVM.
Added information on how to use the autoconf code to specify LLVM's
location and setup separate source and object trees.
Fixed some of the wording to be more accurate, especially regarding the
building of libraries.
Added information on where built files are placed.
Added a link to the llvmdev mailing list so that they can ask us questions.

separate document that we will provide to people who request the source.
Updated the support architecture information to be a little more precise.
Added hyperlinks for all of the tools which are required for building LLVM.
This should make it easier for people to find and install these required
tools.
Italicized some of the "variables" that we use in place of absolute paths.
Added the --enable-spec2000 option to the quick start section.
Other minor changes/corrections/clarifications.
llvm-svn: 9006
Made the "Getting Started Quickly" material its own section. I think this makes
the document easier to read.
Added bars after every major section heading (to distinguish them more easily from
sub-section headings).
Renamed C front end to GCC front end, as we now support C and C++.
Updated material to reflect the new autoconf-style object root.
Added material about the llvm/runtime directory and the fact that you need to
install the GCC front end before building LLVM (before, it was optional).
