It would be more logical to only use REGSIZE then, heh.

You could start the cleanup by doing
#define DEFAULT_REGSIZE DEFAULT_REGSPACING
and using REGSIZE in the new code. Or replace s/REGSPACING/REGSIZE/
throughout. Or something.
Not your fault though, just leave it as-is if you don't feel
like fixing others' mess :-)
