[LLVMdev] LLVM 3.7 release plan and call for testers

[Chris Bieneman]

I will be on vacation during the qualification time, but if anyone comes up with new CMake bugs that block creating packages please mark them as blocking PR15732 (https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15732 <https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15732>).

Thanks,
-Chris

Autoconf on the other hand does the right thing for 64-bit but disables some projects such as compiler-rt.
