I think that we should allow a couple of days for feedback. In
particular, if there are any options which make life difficult for
users of specific text editors (or other tools), we should probably
change that.

Once the final style is decided, it would be better for the change to
be committed by someone with reasonable upload bandwidth, given that
it's likely to affect the majority of C source files.

Running indent on the entire source tree amounts to:

	find . -type f -name '*.c' | xargs indent <options>
