[llvm-dev] Opt plugin linkage

[Viktor Was BSc via llvm-dev]

How come the hello pass example is so totally useless as a starting point? Why is this not using any library/compontent which could conflict with opt or clang and showing how to handle this? I have no clue as to how I have to setup llvm to get this to work or why it doesn't work in the first place with the setup described in "Getting started" and "writing an llvm pass" pages etc. 
Also there is basically no documentation for the custom cmake commands. 

Can please somebody help me with this issue? How do I get dynamically loaded llvm pass plugins to work? Am I the only one ever having this issue? 

Thanks 
Viktor
