It would be very hard to make llvm-config work for MSVC++. It should
work for mingw, though. I have no idea why it doesn't.

Anyways, instead of "fixing" llvm-config a better option is to use the
library dependency info contained on the LLVM cmake build (see
LLVM_ROOT/cmake/modules/LLVMLibDeps.cmake)

I plan to expand the cmake build for installing the required cmake files
along the rest of LLVM so the user can include them on his project's
build for obtaining library dependencies, etc. This is not hard to do,
but for the next month or two I'll be busy with other tasks.
