Comment (by SimonKing):

 Sigh. The upstream development version has changed considerably wrt the
 official release. Filenames have changed, which makes rebasing my patches
 uncomfortable.

 ALL c-source files have changed. It seems that in most cases the change is
 in how comments are formatted and whether tabs are used. This makes
 rebasing my patches a mess, and for no good reason (I mean, it isn't so
 much about codes but about formatting!).

 There are some source files that look like being dedicated to the "large"
 kernel (i.e., field sizes > 255), but in the Makefile is stated that the
 large kernel is not available --- which I find inconsistent.

 But my main frustration comes from the fact that using the latest upstream
 development version would require an awful lot of additional work.
