Vikram pointed out to me off list that Misha wrote some code to compute
the trip count of simple loops, available as the
InductionVariable::getExecutionCount() method.  This code currently only
handles really simple loops (whose conditions directly use a canonical
induction variable), but it could be a good starting point.
