A very early, rough draft of a guide to making public releases for LLVM.
This document will detail the steps needed for making a quality release of LLVM that ensures the release functions and is of high quality. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@26978 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

+<p>This document collects information about successfully releasing LLVM to the
+public. It is the release manager's guide to ensuring that a high quality build
+of LLVM is released. Mostly, its just a bunch of reminders of things to do at
+release time so we don't inadvertently ship something that is utility
+deficient.</p>
