I have learned not to fuss about the particulars of required style as long as I 
have the following:

1. a simple way to exclude sections of code manually

2. a style check integrated into "make check"

3. a makefile target that automatically restyles all source so that "make 
check" will pass.  Only the files that need to be modified are touched.  This 
runs only when requested, never as a prerequisite of any other target.
