Right, I wanted to comment on that but forgot by the time I started the 
email.
My idea was to make the patches clearer. Patch 3/3 puts that code inside 
a condition. So to avoid extra changes just because of the indentation, 
I added the extra { } in this patch instead since I was already heavily 
modifying it anyway.
Do you prefer me to remove them?

gcc didn't complain. Easy to fix.
