Ok per Dan's comments back to <last as this looks nicer.
Misha:
Alexandre rejects 'white space' changes, that is changes that fix indentation, remove extraneous or trailing spaces and tabs unless there is another change needed. If there is a needed change in this file, go ahead and fixup white space around the change. Otherwise, hold onto this change in case you need to use it in the future.
Your other change was accepted by Alexandre and was committed.

Thanks James and I appreciate the style advice.
Hope I didn't start anything too bitter about coding styles ;)
Remember we're all on the same page - making a great product even greater! (Ok enough silly cheery attitude now).
My point is that we should use the same coding style and that should use best practices for coding. Yes, I don't know it all and yes I get my hand slapped, but I am trying to improve things as well.
Yes, progress is being made on several of the programs that I want to incorporate into Wine. And yes, I will go over the code for best practices as well. Some of the code I built was from others and some was just quickly written and is sloppy. Clean code is maintainable, sloppy code is not.
The idea is to keep on moving in a linear direction, forward. We are chasing a big monster, the Windows 32 and Windows 64 APIs and I would like to think that we are making great strides forward.
If you have language skills as well as coding skills, you might want to look at our translations page and see if you can start/assist with our translation effort as well. Lots to do here.

Thanks James. I appreciate your explanation and agree that one (optimal) coding style for Wine would be ideal... now if only we could agree on one ;)
As for translation skills... I _am_ fluent in Russian. However, I left when I was nine. Thus, I'm afraid my translations would probably make more sense to a 3rd grader than to most Wine users, so I'll prob stick to coding for now. ;)
Plus, I see from the names on the list that there are quite a few other Russian speakers here who are (I assume) have a much better vocabulary than I do.
