Two points:

 - Please don't reformat the code originating from Bochs; IMO it's
   much more important to keep clean diffs between the FMW and the
   Bochs versions so as to simplify back-and-forth porting of bug
   fixes and the like, than it is to enforce a common style.  
   
 - If you want to reformat the FMW code itself, please don't mix up
   format changes with real modifications or new code.  Keeping useful
   CVS diffs is very important; while a diff clearly marked as 'reformat
   only' can be completely ignored, a diff that contains two lines of
   crucial semantical change amidst thousands of lines of whitespace-only
   diffs is evil ;-)

   [ In fact, there's probably no point for you to send me a patch 
     containing only the results of an 'indent' run; I'd suggest we
     agree on a set of indent options and I run it myself on my main
     tree ... ]

Bye,
