+Inspired by the CREDITS file from the Linux source tree, this file is,
+likewise, at least a partial list of people who have contributed to the LLVM
+project. The format and the next paragraph are stolen directly from that file.

+The list sorted by name and formatted to allow easy grepping and beautification
+by scripts.  The fields are: name (N), email (E), web-address (W), PGP key ID
+and fingerprint (P), description (D), and snail-mail address (S).
