This is exactly what I was concerned with, also.  We can wait.  Why 
don't you do it (or give me the all-clear) whenever it seems helpful and 
appropriate.  You can choose K&R if you prefer; I have always used ansi 
because it makes the bracket matching clearest to me, but I recognize 
that K&R has an advantage in being more compact.  Either is OK.

Agreed, absolutely.
