Yes, definitely!  This has been on my long-term to-do list for a  
while, but if you have the time/energy, go for it!  Note that LLVM  
already has functionality for extracting single entry multiple exit  
regions into separate functions, so you really only need to implement  
the process of detecting equivalent regions, and let the extraction  
code do the rest.
