So far I've consumed only the `llvm/CMakeLists.txt` to get the version but that's of course hard-coded into the llvm subproject. I didn't know that there were so many places. I highly suggest to create a discourse post and point to this script. IMHO there's no point in doing this in so many places but rather have everything in one place and let the subprojects consume from it. In order to gain acceptance of such a mundane task, I suggest to create another patch that shows how to consume this version.
