[CMake] How to handle generated arguments list in CMake

[Philip Lowman]

You probably want to use the execute_process() on "llvm-config --cppflags",
then "llvm-config --ldflags", etc. and store each into a variable using a
regular expression if necessary to parse the output.  From there you can
call include_directories(), add_definitions(), and target_link_libraries()
as needed.

You might be able to adapt FindPkgConfig.cmake for your purposes (having it
call llvm-config instead)?
You might also have a look at FindXMLRPC.cmake as it does similar parsing to
what you would need.

This assumes that you want CMake to work with the output of any
llvm-config.  If you don't need this level of detail you can probably cut
corners just to get it working.
