Great!  I say this after reading your other message in response to my
suggestion to create a new branch.  If you can manage to do the
integration, it's simpler for everyone to stick to a single branch. 
(For example, there will be no opportunity for someone to work on the
wrong branch.)

Oh.  That's not as bad as I expected.

I think that's right.  I didn't merge any of the changes, then.

Probably.

I wonder if these two were edited to worm around some bugs in early
versions of newcompile.c.  You could check the revision history.  If
that's the case, it's safe to drop the changes.

There are actually a lot of AST-related changes in pythonrun.c,
because it is the gunk between files and stdin and the actual compiler
and runtime.
