    Andy Whitcroft (16):
          allow checking line lengths and spacing on other source files
          clean up that whitespace
          sanitise the input line standardising the content of quotes
          clean up pointer type * and space checks
          fix up the sanitiser so it maintains the line length
          apply the printk facility checks only to the first printk in a set
          switch/case indent checks may anchor in the context
          add a wrapped patch detector
          put the #ifdef in C file checks on ice
          asm volatile is acceptable
          check for and report #if 0
          drop the leading component of the filename as patches are -p1
          use the original line when reporting operator errors
          correct spelling of Joel's name
          Version: 0.04
          add support for struct foo * bar checks
