Good.

Not possible at the current time since the cfg changes (possibly radically) 
between the various passes that need to compute the cfg.

Long term we want to be able to incrementally update the cfg, but I do not
think we should try and solve that problem yet.

Seems to me like you leak memory for the succ/pred lists.  find_basic_blocks
can be called many times...

Otherwise it looks pretty good.  We may want an interface to get the edges
as a list/array since other routines want to work on edges instead of block
pred/succ lists.
