Argh.  When you're making patches, for crying out loud, *please* don't
make changes unrelated to what you're trying to accomplish.  You've
changed a whole lot of the indentation in the code, making vast
amounts of suprious diff.  Don't do that, if you have any wish for the
patch to be applied.  Or indeed looked at.
