[LLVMdev] lib/System Unleashed - Need Your Help!

[Reid Spencer]

Henrik,

Thanks, we'd be happy to accept your patches for the Win32 platform. I'd
also be interested in understanding how Interix differs from a more
common Unix interface. We'll need to add autoconf support for this
platform in order to enable lib/System. Could you run autoconf on your
Interix system and tell me what $build evaluates to? 

Thanks,

Reid.
