Note that this information is available from the monitor backend; I've a 
long standing patch in my working dir that allows to register 
dynamically loaded ones as well.  No objection to using a command-line 
switch for this purpose.  To avoid excessive overloading I'd recommend 
'-o <some parameter>', e.g. '-o static-feature={backend,overlay,all}'
