FYI The test suite of Python 2.7 and 3.3 pass with astoptimizer... except some 
"minor" (?) failures:

 * test_math fails for the reason explained above
 * test_pdb: it looks to be an issue with line number (debuggers don't like 
optimizers :-))
 * test_xml_etree and test_xml_etree_c: reference count of the None singleton

The test suite helped me to find bugs in my optimizer :-)

I also had to add some hacks (hasattr) for test_ast (test_ast generates invalid 
AST trees). The configuration should also be adapted for test_peepholer, 
because CPython peepholer uses a limit of 20 items, whereas astoptimizer uses a 
limit of 4096 bytes/characters for string by default. All these minor nits are 
now handled in a specific "cpython_tests" config.
