Great. Glad to see we are finally start getting the code into shape such
that it follows
the Linux coding style.=20

About how long do you expect this process of code re-formatting to take
?
I think the first step is to just run the code through Linent. Perhaps
after that we can get it put into SubVersion on the openib.org site.
Then,
we need to figure out how to collapse the complib into IBAL, since the=20
