 These are clean-ups of the usual kind I prepare during maintenance of
software (I keep a repository of packaged software for MIPSel/Linux) and
are not results of fatal problems for my platform.  I try to get back to
the maintainers of the affected software whenever I consider a change is
clean enough for general use so that work does not happen to be
duplicated.  If you don't like the changes, then just disregard them --
I'll keep a private copy.
