Those files are unrelated to cmake.

Just make a directory under LLVM_ROOT/projects and put your source
there, with a CMakeLists.txt file that contains the right directives
(you can use any of the llvm tools or libraries under LLVM_ROOT/tools or
LLVM_ROOT/lib as an example.) After creating those files, you must
re-invoke cmake for it taking notice of your new project.

Another approach is to build and install LLVM and write your project as
an standalone source tree outside LLVM's. Then link the LLVM libraries
into your executable.
