I was under the impression that it had been turned back on by default in
more recent versions.  If it is not then it definately should be (patch
welcome).  Better to fix problems than to work around them.

The pretty formatting was very useful for people who are not using
compression and essential for some Dia users who actually store Dia files
in CVS (and even if people are using compression they might want to
decompress and edit their files later).
