Pardon?
I want to:
Re-indent uniformly
Add comments
I stressed that I'm making no functional changes.
Nothing that would affect the compilation.

Anything that improves the legibility of the code and reduces ambiguity
will only serve to make auditing simpler.

Mutt won't accept the changes and the patches won't go away.
Downstream patches:
Gentoo 59
Debian 42
Fedora 7
Suse 2
Mutt seems to be held hostage to the downstream patches.
