To me, if I was going to fix part of the whitespace in i810, I might as
well fix all of the issues of the same type.  diff -bu said that one was
non-functional changes.

Sorry about the SiS diff.  I had done it all in separate stages in my
perforce tree, but I didn't commit it to CVS until the work was all
done.  I probably should have done a two-stage commit there, I just
didn't think this project cared about that.  If you wanted to review the
SiS stuff (which I would love for anyone to do), I have a diff of most
of it.  The big whitespace cleanup came after a bit of initial porting
work, which involved axing a bit of dead code and using some
os-independence macros.  This should cover the functional changes that
came after that:
