yes, but...
do it in small bits, because I still need/want to review. And I am a bit 
low on time...

Also, if you do any other cleanup: do it in separate patches please

  Obviously the functionality need no review, just checking for typos, 
or flipping the if and else part, etc (big operations like this, almost 
always introduce an error somewhere)
otherwise I had them all removed already

Also I want to check any bigger block (several lines / if still 
existing), if the code still serves as inspirations. But small bits,  
are  fine.

If you want to clean up a particular bit, in order to start reading into 
the code, thats cool...

Actually, just thinking about, could be easiest to run a perl script 
over it.....
