I am very much in favor of cleaning up this part of libc++. 
Thanks for taking this on.

My suggestion is to do this incrementally.
Implement the infrastructure bits, then move (say) Linux over to use the new bits.
Then (say) Mac OS X. Then FreeBSD. Then IBM. Then Windows.
Repeat until everyone's moved over; watching the testbots (and getting the people who committed support for each of these systems involved).
Then, when they're all moved, delete the old stuff.
