THat's way too many different types of changes to do all at once, and
some of these are making the code look worse, not better.

There's a reason we don't run lindent :)

If you want to do one-type-of-fix-per-patch, I'll gladly take these,
otherwise, I recommend leaving this for those people learning how to do
development to do.
