I started from tabs that are not on the beginning of lines, and in
several places I did further cleanings.
If you're worried about knowing who wrote some code, for example, if you
get to this commit in "git blame", then note that you can use the "-w"
flag in many git commands to ignore whitespaces. For example, to see
per-line authors, use "git blame -w <file>". Another example: to see
the (*much* smaller) non-whitespace changes in this (or any other)
commit, use "git log -p -w -1 <sha1>".
two different modules. Not sure who might be using this, so
it seems unwise to actually fix this problem.
Also document the fact that calling this function is unlikely
to be useful unless you know the package is already installed.

- linkage code was completely broken, so it now stubbed out (see the file to
resurrect it)
- other minor cleanups
