I agree with Chandler in that I don't see a good need to try hard to factor out code from the Support library that can just be conditional disabled or would be unused by normal .a link semantics. For example, whether or not the regex or YAML code belongs in Support doesn't seem worth worrying too much about, because they are very isolated, don't introduce extra dependencies, and won't be linked by projects that don't use them.

This assumes that the client is statically linking against Support.  Chris has been pretty explicit about his goals of building and using LLVM as a monolithic dynamic library, in which case things like regex or YAML support will *not* be automatically removed.
