Well, our out-of-tree project does not consist of a single pass only and we
already have already implemented autoconf- and cmake-based build systems
based on those of the LLVM. The problem is that these are not "identical"
(i.e. they diverge) and I hoped that llvm-build could help here. AFAIK,
llvm-build places a meta-meta-build-system on top of the autoconf and cmake
stuff and tries to unify them. Is this right/wrong?

Furthermore, the warnings that no LLVMBuild.txt-files are found annoys me
and I want to get rid f them.

Ciao, Fabian
