------- Additional Comments from Gabor Loki <loki at inf.u-szeged.hu>
This patch adds a lightweight constant folding algorithm.

The algorithm handles simple folding cases (like the left and the right side of
a binary operator are Number: CONST * CONST). It does not do expensive tree
rotation or operand swapping to optimize constant folding. So such as
expression: CONST * VAR * CONST will never be folded.

This patch is against rev. 34508.
The update of MSVC and XCode project files are missing.

No new regression found (with run-javascriptcore-tests).
