This patch is self explanatory. 
In practice it doesn't do anything that running bitcoind with the --verify-all flag already does, apart from trimming unnecessary lines of code from the codebase.

In a related query, the pseudo-fork at block 168000 (see logs) and the choice of a checkpoint at exactly that block are coincidental.  Is there any known reason for this?
