[LLVMdev] Linking to the LLVM shared library

The LLVM 2.7 release notes say you can use ./configure --enable-shared
to build LLVM as a shared library (libLLVM2.7.so), and the LLVM tools
will link against that instead of including the static libraries, so I
was wondering:

Is there a way to configure LLVM the same way using CMake (so it can
work on Windows)?

In the other direction, is there an equivalent ./configure flag to
setting CMake's LLVM_BUILD_TOOLS to "Off", like --disable-tools?

And is there a way to get llvm-config to output --libs/--ldflags that
will make third-party programs link dynamically instead of statically?
If there isn't a way, can that be added in 2.8? It'd be useful if
you're building more than one binary against LLVM and want to avoid
unnecessary file size bloat.

Thanks!
