 done and what is left to be done. &nbsp;It will also keep a "wishlist" of

can be built  outside of the research group. &nbsp;This entails:</li>

          <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>

  upon code outside of the source tree.<br>

        <li>Create a structure that allows for the easy addition of outside 
 projects to the LLVM source tree.</li>

 branching, labeling revisions, etc).<br>
