New Revision: 145285

URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=145285&view=rev
Log:
Flesh out and pretty-up the driver section. This could probably use some
more love w.r.t. platforms other than Linux?

+<h4 id="driver">The Clang GCC-compatible command-line driver improved dramatically</h4>
+A great deal of work went into the GCC-compatible driver for the 3.0 release
+making it support more operating systems, emulate GCC behavior more accurately,
+and support a much broader range of Linux distributions out of the box.
+<ul>
+  <li>More accurate support for hardware architecture pre-defined macros (e.g.,
+  __i686__).</li>
+  <li>Robust library and header search paths for the vast majority of x86 and
+  x86-64 Linux distributions.</li>
+  <li>Improved support for newer Darwin platforms.</li>
+  <li>Partial support for <code>--sysroot=...</code> based cross-compiling on
+  Linux (and similar) host systems.</li>
+  <li>Improved support for locating and using libcxx when installed, especially
+  on Darwin.</li>
+  <!-- There are likely more Darwin-specific improvements to mention here? -->
+  <!-- What support was added for FreeBSD? NetBSD? Anything noteworthy? -->

 <h4 id="ppcallbacks">Expanded support for instrumenting the preprocessor through
   callbacks</h4>
 Several enhancements were made to the <code>PPCallbacks</code> interface to
