[m-rev.] for possible post-commit review: direct generation of jump tables on ptags

[Zoltan Somogyi]

I have benchmarked the effect of this change on the speed
of the compiler in a setup in which both versions being tested
were themselves compiled in a way that forced *all* switches
on primary tags to be jump tables. The result was a 1.2% speedup,
which was significantly larger than I expected.

Zoltan.
