oh, come on!  i don't do that!  it breaks my coding standards.  the only
curcumstances i will do something like that is:

if (some_bit_test(0)) set_something0;
if (some_bit_test(1)) set_something1;
if (some_bit_test(2)) set_something2;
...

those q += 4 lines are highly prevalent in ipc.c packet-parsing code.

also, for "informational" purposes, i would recommend that
allowableaccount is put back in, and printed out with a "DEBUG" statement.
if we re-examine the code and find we need to add a feature which uses
allowableaccount (whatever it is) then having this variable removed will
make that job potentially difficult to understand.
