I'm not certain why the SA/Frontend library was created in the first place.  Originally the Frontend library depended on the StaticAnalyzer, and there was no cycle.  Conceptually SA/Frontend is more part of the Frontend then the static analyzer, and that's how it was actually implemented at one point.  At some point it seemed reasonable to move the static analyzer specific parts of the Frontend into SA/Frontend out of the core Frontend library.  This over-refactoring is what has led to this confusion.

Probably StaticAnalyzerCore.
