 * Fix DCE to elminate br <c>, %L1, %L1 so that it can optimize the main of

+* fix the constprop   br <x> <dst1> <dst1> case.  Must handle PHI nodes correctly
 * Fix DCE to work better, so that SCCP can show it's true value.
 * Implement ADCE
 * Fix the const pool printer to print out constants in some sort of "sorted"
   order.  Then enable TestOptimizer.sh to diff -sccp output.  Currently it 
   doesn't work because the diff fails because of ordering of the constant 
   pool. :(
-* Maybe ConstantPool objects should keep themselves sorted as things are 
-  inserted.
-* Enable DoConstantPoolMerging to do trivial DCE of constant values.
 * Should provide "castTerminator, castPHI, etc" functions in Instruction, and
   similar functions in other classes, that effectively do dynamic casts.  This
   would allow code like this:
