    <para>The <application>llvm</application> package contains a collection of
    modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. The Low Level
    Virtual MAchine (LLVM)  Core libraries provide a modern source- and
    target-independent optimizer, along with code generation support for many
    popular CPUs (as well as some less common ones!) These libraries are built
    around a well specified code representation known as the LLVM intermediate
    representation ("LLVM IR").</para>

    <para>The optional <application>clang</application> package provides a
    new C, C++, Objective C and Objective C++ front-end for the LLVM compiler.</para>
