[Laszlo-dev] code in the tag compiler for inlining classes

[P T Withington]

We should get rid of it as it never fully worked and has surely rotted  
badly by now.

At one time, profiling by Adam showed that it was expensive to have  
too many levels of class derivation.  But, once we are compiling to  
JS2 classes, if we were going to do anything like this, we should be  
doing it in the script compiler, leveraging of the mixin expander,  
rather than doing it only for LZX classes.
