Thanks for doing that, much appreciated!  I was busy looking at other peoples
patches and hadn't gotten to my own yet =)

Correct, this must've been a leftover from a previous coding that changed.
Removed.

It it is pretty big for sure, but it's also IMHO not terribly complicated as
it's not really performing any hard to follow logic.

I have no issues refactoring it, but trying my hand at I was only making (what
I consider) less readable code by having to jump around so I consider it a
failure.  If you have any suggestions, I would be more than happy to review and
incorporate those though.

Attached is a v5 with the above fixes and a pgindenting to fix up a few runaway
comments and indentations.
