Well, I'm not trying to justify myself here, but as I said before, 
this mass-annoying-patch-set was originally consisting of 3 or 4
patches and not 12-15 or so. 
So I thought that was easier to digest but I was told to not do that.

I guess I will leave any of those so-called "cleanup's" for a while and
focus on the bare fix.
....waiting for the "while at it you could.." comments.

Thanks Andrew, Jeremy for your help.

Cheers Swen
