Yesterday, I've implemented tail recursion optimization

compiler, fpc11 the old, both are 2.1.1).
Wow!

Well, it's use for real world applications is limited but for the typical
recursive useless benchmark stuff it's nice to have and it wasn't much work.

I tried this with the recursive benchmark:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/tests/bench/shootout/src/recursive.pp

Using fpc
2.0.4: 9.1 s
2.1.1: 8.1 s
with {$OPTIMIZATION tailrec}: 6.0 s.

gcc is 2.6 times faster than fpc 2.0.4 (see http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=recursive&lang=all)
so it would do 3.5 seconds about this benchmark.
