Actually local dead store elimination just got done. We still need a global
version (works on an entire function instead of within basic blocks).
Stuff in the PROJECTS file is still relatively current.
Other possibilities might include extending the local register alloctor to
work on extended basic blocks (instead of normal basic blocks). Similarly for
the combine optimizer.
