A few more comments.

Kill the RCS keywords.   I don't want to have to edit all of your submissions
to kill the keyword expansions.

You need a copyright header on each new file with a proper date.

Kill the "------------" stuff in the comments, no other ports have such
braindamage.  A consistent comment style with the rest of the compiler is
important.

Comments should generally be complete sentences with proper punctuation
and capitolization.  The comment ends with a period, two spaces and the
close comment chars.

Space around the != and the ==.  I suspect you caught this goof from other
files.  I fixed a handful of these to avoid other folks making the same
mistake.

I actually prefer a patch rather than raw files encapsulated in mime stuff.
They're easier to deal with, particularly when dealing with lots of new
files.
