DragonEgg is two things: a port of llvm-gcc to gcc-4.5 (llvm-gcc is based
on gcc-4.2) and a redesign as a gcc plugin. The advantage of it being a
plugin is that it can work with an unmodified gcc (currently this is not
the case: a small gcc patch is required; but in the long term no patches
should be needed).
