Improved consistency is a good thing.  And ANSI is a sane choice (even though 
my muscle memory knows K&R, I'm willing to fight against that for the 
betterment of the whole... just don't be surprised if I screw some things up 
initially ;).

I do have one concern, however.  It is very useful for me to be able to 
cross-compare the branch to the trunk, and I wouldn't want there to be so many 
irrelevant differences that that became more difficult.  It may be that if 
astyle was run on both the branch and the trunk that things would still be 
okay, but I think it's worth checking before committing, just to be sure.  We 
would still have problems diffing into the past on either tree, however.  That 
is perhaps an argument for waiting and only doing this on the branch (once it 
becomes the trunk).

Also, I would suggest that we not reformat any code that was brought in 
reasonably clean from other sources (Agg, CXX, ttconv).  It is useful to diff 
those files against new versions as they are released.

Cheers,
Mike
