Here's what I did:

This is a little insane, but it works. I took the brake fluid resevoir cap, drilled a small hole in it, cut the stem out of a shredded mountain bike tube, inserted the stem into the cap and sealed it up.

Now I just crack open the bleader bolt, with plastic tubing attaced, going to a catch bottle, then with my tire chuck on my air compressor, carefully pressurize the brake fluid resevoir. (I limit the psi.) The pressure in the resevoir pushes the brake fluid out the open bleeder. Seems crazy, but it works. I only use it for flushing the lines though. The final bleeding I do with help inside the car pumping the brakes.
