Some users of TestProgram would like to add options (e.g. testtools.run adds --list and --load-list) but there isn't a clean point to add them without bulk copying the implementation around. We likely need some extra extension points as well - one reasonable test would be to make sure that testtools.run's TestProgram can be made much smaller by whatever patch fixes this bug.

TestProgram is an abomination.
