I posted earlier but seems it didnt catch anybody's attention.

Please dont remove it yet. I'm relying on configure's '--enable-libcpp'
flag to compile LLVM/clang using clang++ and libc++. I couldnt find an
equivalent using cmake. Please see my mails titled "Compiling libc++
from within llvm (3.1)" and "Build llvm/clang with cmake vs configure
produces different set of artifacts".

If you have any suggestions, I'm most willing to try it out. I dont know
enough about CMake but I tried to go through the cmake build files.

Thanks,
