No, until you submit your project for incorporating into LLVM. At that
time, you can ask for help or create the CMake stuff by replicating what
similar parts of LLVM do (it's quite simple and repetitive.)

If your project is not intended to be distributed with LLVM, you can
ignore CMake (*)

I don't know the traditional build so I can't help you with the other
questions.

* From time to time some LLVM developer proposes to ditch the
  traditional build and use CMake only. It can actually happen at some
  distant future.
