Wow. Less than a fortnight? Sounds like some stiff coding ;)

Right. I had seen that too and had applied "astyle" (http://astyle.sf.net)
with default settings to the whole code around the time the 3.5 branch was
created. At least that got rid of the horrible tabs but there is still some 
mixture of styles.

Whitespace between keyword and opening parenthesis, i.e.

    if (condition)

but if you insist on

    if ( condition )

then I won't be the one to edit that away :)

The second (see above)

Member variables should start with "m_".
Integer member variables should start with "m_n".
Boolean member variables should start with "m_b".
AFAICT the rest is up to you.

Hope this helps & good luck
