+// Kaleidoscope with MCJIT
+//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+The files in this directory are meant to accompany the first in a series of
+three blog posts that describe the process of porting the Kaleidoscope tutorial
+to use the MCJIT execution engine instead of the older JIT engine.
+
+When the blog post is ready this file will be updated with a link to the post.
+
+The source code in this directory combines all previous versions, including the
+old JIT-based implementation, into a single file for easy comparison with
+command line options to select between the various possibilities.
+
+This directory contain a Makefile that allow the code to be built in a
+standalone manner, independent of the larger LLVM build infrastructure. To build
+the program you will need to have 'clang++' and 'llvm-config' in your path. If
+you attempt to build using the LLVM 3.3 release, some minor modifications will
+be required.
+
+This directory also contains a Python script that may be used to generate random
+input for the program and test scripts to capture data for rough performance
+comparisons. Another Python script will split generated input files into
+definitions and function calls for the purpose of testing the IR input and
+caching facilities. \ No newline at end of file
