The Shimple constant propagator (with branching) in Soot 2.0.1 might
expose more dead code elimination opportunities, so try --via-shimple
in addition to -O.

Unfortunately, since it's intraprocedural, constant fields are not
currently detected/propagated and this might be where most savings
would show up.
