I don't know if it's under cvs.  It's the "getting started" page
(http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/docs/GettingStarted.html) in section "Getting
Started Quickly (A Summary)".  But careful reading of the remainder of
the page does give the correct path.

Another error I found on the same page concerns "gmake install".  It
does far more than copy bytecode libraries; it tries to create a full
installation on /usr/local.  Naturally that failed because I wasn't root
at the time.  I wouldn't want it to install there anyway.

It's confirmed.  Everything's working just fine.  Just let me know where
to ftp it.  I assume Misha and Brian are on this mailing list.
