[jhc] Frabjous Day: Jhc now has the beginnings of region support for stack allocations

[John Meacham]

My most recent patch enables a feature that has been a long time coming,
it performs an analysis that allows it to allocate and free memory on
the stack, It is extremely basic as the moment as I want to test it in
stages, some tests seem to not be affected much, others show some
dramatic benefits, mandelbrot used 50% less memory and was 30% faster
for instance. 

it is currently just a simple fixpoint calculation, though a type
inference based version will perform better.
