This patch adds an "optimize" parameter to compile(), as discussed in <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2010-November/008784.html>.

I also needed to introduce two new C APIs.  Better naming suggestions are welcome.

This looks fairly complete.
I spotted the word "optimze" in there :)
As for the C api, I always cringe when I add an "Ex" function myself, because it feels like I'm spending my last bullet.  What to do if I need yet another parameter later?  ExEx?
For that reason, I have started to use an options structure with a "size" argument at the start more often.  Ugly windows style.
But since these functions haven't changed much for a long time, there is perhaps no need to fret.

I didn't see an "optimize" option to PyZipFile, the original usecase this all sprung out of.

Added PyZipFile API, and fixed the "optimze". Committed in r87019.

As discussed on IRC, compileall had not gained a new command-line argument because “python -O -m compileall” does the job.  Can I make a doc update for that, or do you think it may be obvious enough?

Yes, a doc update is probably a good idea.  (But after the freeze :)

Temporarily reopening.
