[lldb-dev] start contributing to LLDB

[dawn at burble.org]

Several people have inquired about the windows port, so I hope this will
answer everyone's questions:

What it is: a native Win64 port of lldb based on version 3.1, consuming
    exes generated by our win32-x-win64 port of clang.
    It's currently hooked up to our win64 debugger based on our UI.
What's missing: some process control bits, the lldb UI, command interpreter, python support,
    an update to the latest lldb svn rev,  JIT support currently in progress.
What's working: pdata and frame support, most process control bits,
    building with cmake under MSVC.

Sorry, our repo is not public (yet).

We will review your patches and make sure they are correct and then we will commit them for you giving you credit in the checkin. Later after you get the hang of things, you can ask for a commit login where you will be able to submit your patches directly.
