Sorry, I didn't realize the ball was in my court.
I went through the patch now, kibitzing over some minor style issues.
Attached is a new version.
This seems good for commit except for two things:
1. The alternative expected output files still need to be updated. Stas
couldn't find a system where some of those file were used. One option is
to simply commit the patch as is, and see if the buildfarm goes red. If
it doesn't, we can simply remove the alternative files - they are not
used on any supported platform. If some animals go red, we'll get the
required diff from the buildfarm output and apply. So this isn't a
show-stopper.
2. I didn't understand this change:

What did the removed code do, and why isn't it needed anymore?

No.
