Here, sometimes it's easier to show than to explain in terms of rules:
* collect2.c (vflag): Change type from int to bool.
(debug): Likewise.
(helpflag): New global bool.
(main): Set vflag and debug with boolean, not integer truth
values. Accept new "--help" option and output usage text if
found.
* collect2.h (vflag): Update prototype.
(debug): Likewise.
Summary: Asterisks are only used for the first line of each file's changes.
TABs at the start of every line. Place the name of the affected entity -
function, variable or macro - in brackets at the start of each line, colon,
space, then say what not why.
