+1 for making this a cmake option.

That said, I don't think we can implement this using #ifdefs.
lldb-enumerations.h is a part of our public api, Config.h isn't (it
theoretically could be, but I don't think we want that).

I think the simplest way to achieve this would be to make
eScriptLanguageDefault an enum value in its own right, and handle the
translation to an actual language internally.
