Ok, I merged a bunch of stuff, we now have:

1. New bugs
2. C++
3. C++'0x
4. Documentation
5. Driver
6. Frontend
7. Headers
8. LLVM Codegen
9. Static Analyzer

Merging the driver and headers into "frontend" didn't seem right, but if you guys really want to do that, I can, just let me know.  I tend to agree that C++'0x should just be a keyword.  For that matter, C++ as a whole could be a keyword since it is orthogonal from the "where" in Clang it is.  Any thoughts or objection to that?
