+  <p>When you are done developing your pass, you may wish to integrate it
+     into LLVM source tree. You can achieve it in two easy steps:<br>
+     1. Copying &lt;pass name&gt; folder into &lt;LLVM root&gt;/lib/Transform directory.<br>
+     2. Adding "add_subdirectory(&lt;pass name&gt;)" line into &lt;LLVM root&gt;/lib/Transform/CMakeLists.txt</p>
