We do coalesce everything possible. Its when we cant coalesce we run
into the problem.

I hate the SSA_NAME_OCCURS_IN_ABNORMAL_EDGE stuff.  We introduced it
because it was happening with great regularity. copy propagation caused
it to happen a lot. I beleive some other optimizations made it happen
quite frequently as well. 

I had toyed with the idea of adding an option which would generate the
required temporaries, but when I went to do so, I ran into a
problem/complication. I forget what it was, and I simply never got back
to it. Generally speaking, is a bad thing and best avoided. :-)
