I think Sam mentioned having to do that (to bootstrap dependency 
generation on unix ?); maybe he can explain better.

Sorry, I can't seem to get used to that style for some reason; will fix.

It makes the function definition in oid_ops.c match the prototype 
and thus avoids a compiler warning.  Looking at the history, 
it seemed like the previous change to remove 'const' was an 
oversight that occurred when the variable name was commented 
out, so I put it back, but I have no personal preference whether
it's removed altogether; I just want the mismatched parameter
warning to go away.  I had put a note about that in my local 
commit, but lost it when I rebased; sorry.

I'll take care of the other uncuddled brace and the README as well
