Vikram is exactly right.  The functions in that header can extract an 
arbitrary single entry multiple exit set of basic blocks into a new 
function, and takes care of all of the updating needed for live ins and 
live outs of the code.  If you want to extract something that doesn't 
start/end on a basic block boundary, use of BB::splitBasicBlock would be 
appropriate.

I'm glad LLVM is working out for you!! :)
