+This slackbuild provides a convenient way to install the BlocksRuntime
+library from the compiler-rt project (see http://compiler-rt.llvm.org/).
+
+Several systems (Linux, FreeBSD, MacPorts, etc.) provide the clang
+compiler either preinstalled or as an available package which has
+Blocks support (provided the -fblocks compiler option is used).

+runtime library, since this is a non-standard extension by Apple to
+Clang.
