Let me counter with my function grouping, then let's compare the lists.
To be honest, I mostly focused on separating the CLI code because that's
what needs to be replaced or refactored most urgently. Having that stuff
in a separate file makes it easier to tell people to go wild.

CLI:
main (but please note that main needs to be refactored, we still have
too much stuff in there which is not specific to CLI at all).
usage (needs to be refactored, other frontends may want to use the
programmer list it generates)

Hm. Seems I should update my main() refactoring patch to make separation
easier before we respin this patch.
