Just to be clear: Please don't "fix".  From my perspective, with the
amount of localization that getaddrinfo.c, getpwent.c, and so on need,
trying to make a vendor branch on those files is more trouble than it is
worth.


This thread started because I suggested that for these files,
whitespace-only changes are a pain, that's all.
