Hi!
 
Ok. Didn't know that I have to check for such stuff.

So far i was just checking the code changes, not the style of the patch itself.

Will try to be more strict...

Is it mandatory, that I compile the code, or is it ok, if I do the review "just"
by reading? 
Reason for the question: If reading is ok, too, I can do a review of a simple
change,
even when I am abroad at a customer (my customers do not deal with linux, just 
comercial stuff). With compiling, I can only do them at home...

Cheers,

Marcus
