Mike, I literally visually scanned every line of code to develop
this patch. The gfortran frontend code was a potpourri of styles.
There were no automated tools to clean this up. The OpenMp files
were the cleanest in the patch, and yet I add blanked line to
make it conform to the rest of gfortran (apologies to Jakub, rth,
and Diego).
