[LLVMdev] Compiler Driver Decisions

[Henrik Bach]

Hi LLVM'ers

If I may chime in to your discussion about naming the compiler-driver.

As a newcomer (and novice) about LLVM, but as user, I think users best 
understand llvmcd (or llvm-driver) in conjunction with the runtime 
environment llvmee (or llvm-run).

If I had to choose, and personnally I don't like those cryptic acronyms or 
other short hand forms, I'll pick up the names llvm-driver and llvm-run.
