Summary: Better dead code elimination for the AST compiler

Initial Comment:
Here's a patch that adds dead code elimination for if
0: style statements, and improves the current dead code
elimination for while statements by not performing
elimination if the function is a generator.  If the
last yield statement from a generator is removed, the
generator is turned into a regular function, which
changes the semantics of the function.

Attaching new patch which does elimination for if 0, if 1
and if __debug__ correctly (visiting else clauses!) and
correctly recognizes functions mixing "return x" and "yield".

Sorry, I'm new to the sourceforge patch tracker. The patch should be
