Re: [Mantisbt-dev] Code formatting

All you guys with strong opinions ;p  If this continues we might have end
up with an emacs/Xemacs split, one version with echos, one with print()
and countless other in-betweens.

I think we'll continue this development period and then once we're in cod=
e
freeze for 0.19.0 we'll switch to echo/print/PRINT/whatever in one massiv=
e
replacement operation.
