This has nothing to do with the topic of the mail, but GNU projects are often 
quite anal about indentation etc. GCC maintainers frequently reject patches 
until indentation and formatting is brought into accordance with style guides.

A practical way of enforcing a particular style is to have a pre-commit hook 
in your version control system that sends the file through, for example, 
astyle before putting into the repository.
