I looked at it when I was doing the LLVM code generation, and decided
it wasn't worth attempting to use it... (some combination of looking
dead, and depending on some other stuff IIRC). I'd recommend
implementing a new SSA transform from scratch, using the SSA
transformation algorithm described in:
Simple Generation of Static Single-Assignment Form
John Aycock and Nigel Horspool
CC'2000
It's a lot simpler... (about 200 lines of ocaml for the version for LLVM)
