Unless there's anything special about any of them, I think one squashed
patch is fine.  Fabulous.  Is this still with a slightly customized
build (to decrease debug-info) or is this normal?

I wonder also if this would be a reasonable place to add some continuous
integration and a baseline to our continuous integration?  44 files
isn't 0 but it's not 300 either, and early signals that things have got
worse from some commit might help stop us diverging again...
