        Great ! :-) good to have you on board.

        Nice; in general I think it is perhaps only worth eliding the most
obvious chunks where 10+ code lines in files are consecutively double
spaced for no apparent reason :-)

        Certainly - lets put it in bin/ and we could turn it into a more
generic 'lint' tool over time (perhaps).

        Pushed your patch (Jonathan (eagles) did the other one earlier). It
might be an idea to leave him to do the whitespace stuff, and see if
your valuable perl skills can be applied to cleaning up eg. build.pl and
make_installer.pl pieces which are in dire need of some perl love :-)

        Anyhow, great to have you around & thanks again,

                Michael.
