Chandler Carruth 629c3552bb Begin sketching out the Clang release notes. The plan is to link to
these more detailed notes from the primary LLVM release notes for Clang.
This gives us a nice place to flesh out in plenty of detail the major
changes that have happened in Clang land since 2.9.

I've outlined a very rough structure based on the LLVM release notes
structure and what seems like useful divisions in the Clang landscape
(e.g., language-specific stuff is relevant to a narrower audience).

I'll be first converting my brain-dump-ish notes from the commit logs,
and then cleaning here. Suggestions on structure welcome. Typo
corrections, spelling fixes (oh how I'll need them), all welcome; just
commit away.

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang development mailing list:
