I looked for it and couldn't find any, too. I found some
alias/dependency analysis inside loops, but nothing actively trying to
merge instructions.

WRT progress/plans, there is the Poly project
(http://wiki.llvm.org/Polyhedral_optimization_framework) that is an
external representation to LLVM and could make much easier to map
dependencies and leave the road open for auto-vec, but again, nothing
on that direction has been done, too. Tobias and Ether should know
more on that.
