+ LLVM Target Skeleton
+ --------------------
+ 
+ This directory contains a very simple skeleton that can be used as the
+ starting point for new LLVM targets.  Basically you can take this code
+ and start filling stuff in.
+ 
+ This directory contains mainly stubs and placeholders; there is no binary 
+ machine code emitter, no assembly writer, and no instruction selector 
+ here.  Most of the functions in these files call abort() or fail assertions 
+ on purpose, just to reinforce the fact that they don't work.
+ 
+ The things that are implemented are stubbed out in a pseudo-PowerPC target.
+ This should give you an idea of what to do, but anything implemented should
+ be replaced with your target details.
+ 
+ As always, if you're starting a new port, please mention it on the llvmdev
+ list, and if you have questions, that is a great place to ask.
