+<p>LLgen has just been released as a seperate package!</p>
+<p>LLgen is a LL(1) parser generator, quite similar to yacc or bison, that can generate
+recursive descent parsers from Extended Context-Free grammars (which makes it quite a
+bit more useful than yacc or bison). The ACK uses it extensively, but as it's a
+standalone component, I've decided that it would be useful to distribute this
+seperately. LLgen's input files are almost identical to yacc's, so if you can use yacc
+and have been getting frustrated with its limitations, LLgen is for you.</p>
+<p>I've rewritten the build system and overhauled the source so it compiles
+cleanly with gcc; it should work fine on modern systems (and extremely quickly). The
+package contains full documentation, and LLgen is, like the ACK, licensed under the
+new-style BSD license.</p>
+<p>You can <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=130811">get it
+from the Sourceforge download page</a> right next to the ACK.</p>
