I didn't touch any of alpm.i or the doxygen comments at all... so I
have no idea where these changes come from.

Hmmm, I'd still like to keep this just in case there are dangling 1
returns.  There should be no harm in changing this value at all.
There is nowhere where it should ever be used, and no one should ever
care about these values... I mean, does anyone know the value of
EDEADLK?

:set cinoptions+=(0
This aligns new lines with an unclosed ( on the previous line.  It is
the way I prefer this.

> b) please use tabs instead of 2 spaces

noet should be set on all source files, inserting tabs instead of
spaces.  If noet is not set, please let me know.

Formatting has not been discussed anywhere beyond the modelines in
each file, which vim always respects.  I don't think calling this a
"problem" is correct.

Fixed.

Yes I'm aware, I never said it was fixed - I said i was going to do it
when I had the time.
