If it doesn't already exist (I don't know), a general mechanism to 
specify a set of entry points would be a useful mechanism to add. For 
example, I'd like every test to be considered a valid entry point to the 
program.  This could be faked of course (via calls to the test runner in 
the program main or by analyzing the test driver itself), but being able 
to simply specify the list at analysis time would be helpful.
