+llvm/lib/Support/Unix README
+===========================
+
+This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that
+are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory
+structure underneath this directory could look like this:
+
+Unix - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms
+ Posix - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX
+ SUS - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification
+ SysV - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX
+
+As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be
+created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of
+the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3
+subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
