Hithere.

If you used a makefile then theoptions could be makefile variables.
You could then also build what you downloaded/updated.
Then you could also specify -j7 and the parallel build options would be
passed to llvm's make process.
Lastly you could add targets to make a debian package and/or the
documentation.

Just my 2c.
