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.

<h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<p>This document contains the release notes for the Clang C/C++/Objective-C
frontend, part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release 3.0. Here we
describe the status of Clang in some detail, including major improvements from
the previous release and new feature work. For the general LLVM release notes,
see <a href ="http;//llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html">the LLVM
documentation</a>. All LLVM releases may be downloaded from the
<a href="http://llvm.org/releases/">LLVM releases web site</a>.</p>
<p>For more information about Clang or LLVM, including information about the
latest release, please check out the main please see the
<a href="http://clang.llvm.org">Clang Web Site</a> or the
<a href="http://llvm.org">LLVM Web Site</a>.
<p>Note that if you are reading this file from a Subversion checkout or the main
Clang web page, this document applies to the <i>next</i> release, not the
current one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please see the
<a href="http://llvm.org/releases/">releases page</a>.</p>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h2 id="whatsnew">What's New in Clang 3.0?</h2>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<p>Some of the major new features and improvements to Clang are listed here.
Generic improvements to Clang as a whole or two its underlying infrastructure
