I just tried this but have no time to work further on it now.  The compiler
does use -S to generate assembly, but there are at least 3 problems:

(1) The command line needs "-Fo" instead of "-o" to specify the output file name.
(2) The assembler extension on Windows is ".asm" so CMake does not recognize the
    "main.s" source file.
(3) The "icl" tool cannot compile its own assembly:

    $ icl -S main.c
    $ icl main.asm
    (errors)

I was able to fix the errors for (3) by replacing "." with "_" in a few labels.
Then the build produces HelloAsm.exe which runs as expected.
