It doesn't depend on CodeGen, but LLVM contains other supporting libraries that are used by the non-codegen aspects of Clang (e.g. libSupport).

Right now the driver executable for the clang analyzer is the same as the compiler (they are all in the executable 'clang').  There's nothing fundamental about them being in the same executable; that's just how they've been packaged.
