 * Basic liveness analysis.  This works only in SSA form.
 *
 * This liveness pass treats phi nodes as being melded to the space between
 * blocks so that the destinations of a phi are in the livein of the block
 * in which it resides and the sources are in the liveout of the
 * corresponding block.  By formulating the liveness information in this
 * way, we ensure that the definition of any variable dominates its entire
 * live range.  This is true because the only way that the definition of an
 * SSA value may not dominate a use is if the use is in a phi node and the
 * uses in phi no are in the live-out of the corresponding predecessor
 * block but not in the live-in of the block containing the phi node.
