That would be best of course.

Yes there are, the default settings used accross multiple languages (perhaps 
with the exception of Python but I very much doubt it) are 4 or 8 tabstops 
(people prefer 4 usually, that's now the most frequent default in editors) 
and no actual tabs (only spaces).

Beyond that, the rest is pretty much language specific, but it's rather easy 
to find rules from other languages (eg C, Perl, etc) that would map prettu 
well to E262.

It would indeed be trivial, and yes of course we should distribute all the 
packages. The devers will want the source with multiple small files and 
inline docs, users will want the doc in nice XML (transformed to XHTML+CSS I 
guess) and a single gzipped ball for lightweightedness.
