There may be several ways to do it, but I think the most typical 
approach is to run a ModulePass before all of your FunctionPass's that 
adds any functions that may be required.  If the set of all possible 
functions is known apriori, this should work.  Dead Code Elimination can 
delete any functions that are unused at the end.

Another approach is to make all of your code ModulePass's.  This may be 
less ideal, but you can probably get it to work.
