Hey,

Edin pointed out that we no longer need to reserve the "main" keyword in
zend engine 2.  As the main:: keyword was only reserved for the main::
namespace in the first place.  We no longer have namespaces, therefore
we no longer need to reserve main.

Attached is a patch to zend_compile.c that removes main.  I'll commit it
to zend_compile.c unless someone objects.
