That would be a way to proceed. But it would take a large amount of your
time, just to find the correspondences between the old and the new code.
A cheaper way of getting "incremental" reviews could be that, every 2 days,
you post a code snippet of 20-100 lines, with a couple of intro blurb
(unless the comments already say everything). This way, you will likely
catch the attention of more eyes.

Also, this thread is getting quite huge. Start new threads for incremental posts, so that they aren't buried in the depths.
