As Michael pointed out it pretty closely follows the conventions in JuK's 
HACKING file.  The notable differences are:

- Heavy use of namespaces; this should be fairly clear from looking at other 
classes

- 2 spaces instead of 4; no tabs

- no member variables other than a d-pointer, see: 
 http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/binarycompatibility.html
 "Using a d-pointer".  As a side note Qt 4 has also gone the "no member 
 variables" route as well.

If you're worried about style issues just send a patch to the list once you've 
got some of the basics done and that can be reviewed and that might give you 
an idea of what's lacking prior to working on a full patch and then dealing 
with the nitpicking.  :-)
