    Returns the option parser for tests.
    
    This parser needs to be able to handle all flags that may be passed 
    to any test
    
    Due to the optparse desing we cannot create a 'partial' option parser 
    that would ignore extra parameters while allowing it to be later be 
    extended. So it is either every flag goes the main option parser, 
    or each module will have to implement almost identical parsers. 

    Having one large option parser seemed the lesser of two bad choices.
