It's a good start: I was already working to add the missing (new)
functionality in the form of more counters so I could submit my
deque test suite to follow on to your reformatting, but I ran into
a problem in that I can't build from the trunk because my libc is
too old, and I can't build a newer libc because there's some kind of
a bug in the gcc configury such that it's picking up a really old ld,
and boy am I borrowing against my karma to get things back up and
running.

I'll try and get something in the next week or so, since the original
deque test suite has been kicking around my disk since last December
and I don't think these things age like wine.
