A thought: It would surely be desirable to have some sort of
common indentation policy applied to the C code; this could be
applied by setting up an "indent" command with the preferred
indentation policy in the Makefile. The *critical* step would
be that before checking in the code, one would use the command
"make indent" to make sure that the common policy was applied.
