hi ether,

great start.

I pushed your work to our git repository at
http://repo.or.cz/w/llvm-complete/pofl.git

This repository is ment to track work on a first version of LLVM Poly 
that could be proposed for integration to LLVM. Feel free to register as 
a user and to commit to the repository.

I just had some discussions on the LLVM IRC channel concerning the 
integration of Poly.

The preferred way to implement this seemed to be like the tools/clang 
integration in llvm. A separated repository (that might also be hosted 
on the llvm svn server), that is only build if available. So user can 
decide if they want to try LLVMPoly and check it out on demand.

What we need to achieve before proposing a patchset:

1. Integrate ClooG/isl
2. A working pass Frontend/Backend (very limited, no optimizations, but 
able to handle real world code)

Thanks for working on this

Tobi
