You may have a look on the SUIF compiler system:
http://suif.stanford.edu/suif/


I don't use it myself, but I've heared they have still problems with
their backends for generating machine code, but if you want to do
source-to-source optimizations it should be OK.


And then there is still GCC - a very hairy beast and definitively not
"easy to hook into", but if you are an experienced C-Hacker, you may
consider it too.
