Sure, I need to do _something_ anyway because of the cost issue.  The
current code will happily transform

 if (a)
   s = sin (x);
 else
   c = cos (x);

to use sincos.

Probably not (all real-world testcases I looked at have sin and cos in
the same BB only).  But the tree-ssa-math-opts pass is run after 
tree-loop, so too late for PRE to clean up.  Was there any reason for
this?  If not I'd move it at least before loop.

Thanks,
Richard.
