Summary: SystemError with conditional expression in assignment

Initial Comment:
When a conditional expression appears on the left
side of an assignment, SystemError is raised instead
of SyntaxError. Example:

Python 2.5a2 (trunk:45989M, May 13 2006, 15:40:42)
[MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

>>> a if True else b = 3
SystemError: unexpected expression in assignment 5 (line 1)

Attaching a patch. Most of the changes
in test_syntax are due to error renumbering.
All tests passed with this patch applied.
