I fully agree with you. However it seemed more applicable to put it all in
one large patch, because that takes relatively less time to check than
several seperate patches. I will do this in the future, but my main motive
is that no patches are lost (like has happened in the future with my
patches - rmdir is still not committed) and that they are committed as soon
as possible.. I think you'll catch my drift.

Thanks for the pointers anyway, will do in the future. And thanks for taking
the time to review my patches.
