AFAIK exporting LLVM just provides the library names. How is that
useful? The really useful feature is to obtain the LLVM libraries from a
component name:

include($PATH_TO_LLVM_INSTALL/some-directory/llvm.cmake)

LLVM_LIBRARIES_FOR_COMPONENT(jit LLVM_LIBRARIES_I_NEED)

target_link_libraries(my_compiler $LLVM_LIBRARIES_I_NEED)

This is an often-requested feature. Maybe if I have some free time this
weekend...
