I don't feel strongly that the patch is needed or that it is not needed
since both proposals are cosmetic. So if you go ahead and apply the one
you like, I'm certainly not going to revert it. However, to fix the bugs
you're talking about, I can almost guarantee that the functions you'll
need to hack are in r128_exa_render.c and not r128_exa.c. So in that
sense it helps to have separate files. Any contributions you have
planned would be welcome. Especially since I had too many things come up
over the last year that regrettably took me away from r128 development.
