I've written something like that some time ago. It's a standalone
program which reads a file starting at a given offset and anything
what's found is interpreted as valid instructions (ie. no checking
for headers/offsets, no checking for text/data, thus problems with
register save masks in functions, etc.) 

It started as (and in wide parts it still is) an ugly hack intended
to fit my personal needs quick and dirty. Most of the basic ideas
made it into db_disasm.c and db_disasm.h respectively.
I haven't used it for quite some time now and I'm not sure if it's
of any help. If anybody is interested then I could make it available.

Ciao,
