to some extent llvm-gcc lives on in dragonegg, for example to build the
testsuite using dragonegg you need to use the --with-llvmgccdir flag and
do some tricks.  While I've got nothing against you substituting clang
for llvm-gcc in the document, it would be nice to have a section that
explains how to use dragonegg.  Even nicer would be to make the makefiles
more generic, rather than hard-wiring in clang/llvm-gcc[*], so that pretty
much any compiler can be easily used.

Ciao, Duncan.

[*] They used to be more generic, but in making life better for clangers
Eric made life worse for dragoneggers, though I don't remember what the
changes were exactly.
