Hi Owen,

This is a really unsatisfactory way to handle this.  Doing this means that Scalar.cpp will depend on *all* of the transformation in the library, so someone linking in scalar.cpp will pull in every single .o file in the archive.  The idea of the previous design was that you'd only link in the passes you actually need.
