[LLVMdev] x86 in win32 folder

[Christopher Lamb]

I don't want to drive this too off topic, but I should be clear that  
I wasn't suggesting that the LLVM project adopt XPJ as it's official  
config file format for Visual Studio. I have found it useful to use  
XPJ to generate the initial VS projects for a code base that doesn't  
already have VS projects. I also find it nice to be able to see all  
of the config options in a flat, human readable file rather than a  
GUI, but this is certainly personal preference.
