hmmm... I think (some) static analysis may be possible. The main
thing to exclude is eval/exec but even then, yes you're right, some
programs would just have to be run to find out what they do.

I remember reading some interesting things here:

In particular:
"Cormac Flanagan and Matthias Felleisen. 
Componential Set-Based Analysis. 
ACM Transactions of Programming Languages and Systems"
