Though we have a few code examples in our documentation that show how to *use* 
libclang, we never actually show how to *link* against it. I myself mostly 
figured this out through trial and error some time ago, and I’ve since had to 
explain it to others on several occasions, so I thought adding some very 
minimal CMake example code might be helpful.
