Ok, Now I am getting fed up with all this petty bickering over indent
amounts. Alexandre wants 4 space indents. As soon as I get Linux
installed on my box, I'm going to _MANUALLY_ go through every single
file and make sure that we have 4 space indent, since I wouldnt know how
to write up a script to do it automatically.. Then I'm going to make
diffs and submit patches. I honestly prefer 2-space, but at the same
time, I can understand why most devs prefer 4 space. My question is
though, how long will it take once the changes have been made before the
code is all mixed up again? Is there any way we can just not accept
patches that dont conform? Of course if we do that, there would be some
angry devs, so maybe a compromise for this would be to accept the patch
but run a script to auto format it to 4 space before it gets committed
to CVS??

Sorry Dimi, my opinion differs here too...
1. I don't want to type the spacebar 4 times an ident is made
(though I could configure the text editor to do "this" for me).
2. I want to stick to the maximum column width of 80 chars. With
5 idents in a line that would only left 60 chars of code compared
to 70.
3. In my opinion with an ident of 2 chars you can clearly distinguish
two diffent idents though my eyes are really not the best, so an ident
of 4 chars is unnecessary.
4. I don't want to use 4-space idents if there are other wine developers
who also use differing idents, because I not convinced of 4-space idents.
