Thanks. I had to learn how to squash my commits into a new branch and
then generate a format-patch on that:
https://bugsdb.com/_en/debug/8b648ec395b86be32efa9629cb006d74
I wanted to see how the cfbot liked my original patch with the renames,
and it didn't, so now I know I have to use this method for the
commitfest. Patch attached.

Let me get my patch building on the cfbot and then I will address each
of these. I am trying to do one stage at a time since I am still
learning the process. Thanks.
