I think I can refactor things so that it is possible to just get a
pass list without linking in the code for all those passes. How to get
a list of all passes that are available is a bit harder. My current
idea is to just run opt and ask it to print it.

I see. I have normally used bugpoint for some very strange problems
(bootstrap being broken) so I usually didn't care to much about the
interface. I will try to keep the current one.
