[PATCH v3 0/4] Build improvements for clar

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Hi,

Dscho has reported in [1] that the CMake build instructions for clar do
not work well on Windows/MSVC because we execute the shell scripts
directly instead of using the discovered `SH_EXE`. This small patch
series fixes the issue.

Changes in v2:

    - Wrap overly long lines in the CMake build instructions.
    - Add the VERBATIM option.

Changes in v3:

    - Fix missing word.

Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241111-pks-clar-build-improvements-v2-0-d4794d8d1b30@pks.im

Thanks!

Patrick
