AOL.  But for rearranging structs, that'll often just amount to a
few extra comments like "this member relates to that one".

However, for saving space, take a look at integer types.  Many longs
only need to be 32-bit (ber_int_t) or even int.  Including ber_tag_t.
Though many are used in ways which would need work-arounds if the type
was changed - like passing pointers to them to some function.
