[fpc-devel] Compiler development guides

[J. Gareth Moreton]

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were a
novice, just a slight warning to be prepared
when you dive into the code!

Some documentation would be nice for the
compiler, but I'm not sure where to begin
there except maybe with outlining the
individual compiler stages (creating nodes,
simplifying nodes, building target-specific
assembly language, peephole optimisation
etc.)
