Don't bother trying this series. I tried it out on live data today and it does not work. It actually caused regression in the diffs for the conversion project I'm working on.

What is _REALLY_ odd is that it didn't make any tests fail in the test dir using master, next, and pu.

Perhaps someone can explain what I did wrong when testing?

git checkout master make -s clean && make -s all && make -s install && cd t && make

I really did do over 9 hours of testing using the test dir. First with just the branches with no modification, then with the modified t4015-diff-whitespace.sh, then with the xutils.c patch. And this was on each branch at about 40 minutes per run through.
