Right, making find_event_file() extern is premature here - it isn't even
used until patch 06.

Yeah, some of these also got left behind (or ahead) in the shuffle
between patches - let me fix them up again..

Good point, no sooner do I assign cmd_ops than apparently completely
forget about it in the next two lines. ;-)

Right, since it's doing double duty, it was hard to come up with a good
name for it - group_id might just be generic enough though - I'll switch
