Have a look at the tree in src/arch. Each of those directories
describes a machine layer, or common pieces shared among a few layers.

The basic files that you would need to create are machine.c, defining
the functions used to send and receive messages (and some others),
conv-mach.h defining which options and settings the runtime should
use, and conv-mach.sh defining compiler paths and flags.

What kind of machine are you interested in making a new layer for?
