That idea turned out to be a waste of time.  I locally built that
tool, and it does impose a uniform style on the Fortran files it
processes.  But I dislike that style.  The first level of indentation
is always 7 blanks (which is obviously a style left over from Fortran
77 fixed-length days), but more importantly in my view it changes
every empty line into one with a single blank, and we definitely don't want
such trailing blanks in our source code.

I have just now noticed some documentation of the emacs f90-mode at
<http://web.mit.edu/Emacs/source/emacs-23.1/lisp/progmodes/f90.el> which
implies you have easy and straightforward control of the indentation
spacing.  So I will try that method to force each level of indentation
to add 4 blanks to be consistent with our C code style.  If I like
that result, then I know of a straightforward way to use emacs to
style all our Fortran source.

More later.
