Greg:

> Which part of the coding standard

I don't think I did a very good job of explaining the source of the original 
question. We have absolutely no issue at all with the coding standard. We were 
just, for lack of a better description, volunteering. We intended to be 
completely neutral letting the dev team tell us what they wanted as per the 
quote below.

"The FLTK code basically follows the K&R coding style. While many of the 
developers are not entirely satisfied with this coding style, no one has 
volunteered to change all of the FLTK source code (currently about 54,000 lines 
of code!) to a new style."

Perhaps the best approach would be to limit auto formatting to the code we 
move/write (the fla directory and it's subdirectories) as part of the FLA 
development process. That should serve to create a bold line between the 
existing code and the FLA code. The FLA code would be new and thus no backward 
compatibility would be necessary. Would this address your concerns? I am also 
working on another post that may make this less of an issue.
