I was being consistent with nearby code, and the dominant style.  But if
that's the case, then there's a few hundred such mistakes that need
correcting.  Should I fix all of them, and if so, should that be a
single patch, or multiple?

There's also only a few instances of EXIT_{SUCCESS,FAILURE}, so I took
it wasn't the style to use that.
