Hi Greg,

With all due respect (I mean it), I must say that I'm not going to split this 
trivial work into four patches of two lines each.

I understand that here you have the last word. After all, yours the tree, 
yours the rules. 

However, I'm used to do only what I can understand. After noticing that you 
can take in one shot the removal of 7000 unnecessary lines (e.g., please see 
commit 7bdedfef085b), I really cannot understand why you cannot take also the 
removal of four initialised but unused variables in one only go.

I'm really sorry but, if you cannot reconsider your decision, please drop 
this patch. I'm pretty sure that someone else is willing to do what you 
required, but not me.

Best regards,

Fabio
