When given the choice between spending 5 seconds adding 3 spaces to make
it look good, or spending a day fixing antique software, I will always
choose 5 seconds (as I don't know C that much, or X programming at all,
it would be more like at least a week).

If you have the time to fix xearth, feel free to do it, but do not
assume people will have the time, will, or knowledge required to do so.
