We have indent.pro files in SVN for exactly that reason. A typical busy open source developer probably is dealing with dozens of projects with source code in even more styles. Us busy open source developers should be fairly agnostic in what styles we accept from projects we don't control, and very used to just automatically following any style we find. Or at least running the projects official indent.pro files over our changes before committing. Those that are realiy style anal can run indent to massage code to their own personal style, then again before commits. lol Some of those styles found in the wild are deplorable, but that is always personal taste exactly what fits the description of "deplorable". Though styles that insist on 80 character lines AND long descriptive names are just asking for trouble.
