Not quite right, actually.  I had to do 'git checkout remotes/origin/cleanup'
rather than 'git checkout cleanups'.  But I have the patch sequence now.

Most of them look useful and unproblematic.  0009 is slightly wrong - unsigned 
int constants want a 'u' suffix rather than the 'U' for longs.

I'm reviewing, and will probably apply most of these.
