It's not a matter of being a small patch of not, it's a matter of principle, a 
patch should have only what you say it has, and if you send a patch that you 
say fixes compilation issues and then changes whitespacing, it's doing 
different stuff of what you said. Nobody says you can't suggest fixing the 
whitespacing, just do it in two separate patches, so if the maintainer doesn't 
want to change it, it's easier for him to apply the patches.
