Dear diary, on Fri, Apr 15, 2005 at 12:37:57AM CEST, I got a letter

Good. :-)

Sounds good.

I don't really care about this too much, although I personally prefer
the old-style comments. // comments are C99 so -pedantic by itself
should have no right to complain about it.

What exactly does it fix? The current code seems fine to my sleepy
brain.

How is the -c option useful?

Could you please send your patch with the correct inline settings on the
attachment (or just in the mail body) and signed off?

Thanks,
