1) You apparently don't have a copyright assignment on file. (I'm not
certain, since your From: line doesn't contain a name.) You need to look
over the how-to-contribute section of the gcc.gnu.org website and take
care of this before nontrivial patches can be accepted.
2) Before spending and possibly wasting lots of time on a "big cleanup,"
you should /tell/ the lists what you have in mind.
3) Very few people on this list are willing to read top-posted messages.

GCC?
Sure, why not? When can you submit a patch?

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

LUKE: Is Perl better than Python?
YODA: No... no... no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
LUKE: But how will I know why Python is better than Perl?
YODA: You will know. When your code you try to read six months from now.
