See the patched cstyle on SchilliX and the wrapper script "Cstyle" that by 
default sets linelentgh to 133 chars.

My cstyle adds the following features:

        -l #    set maxline length (default is 80)
        -b      do not check for blank after cpp #
        -K      do not check for blank at /* */ comment bounds
        -B      allow /*------- box comments
