I'm probably the worst violator of these standards.  I can find my block
errors easier if the starting and ending brackets stand alone on a line and
are indented to the same level (as opposed to having the starting bracket
appear where ever and the ending bracket indented by the level of nesting it
implies).

This aside, we want this to become the GNU Cobol (Cobol is not quite an
acronym).  I am willing to mangle my style in the interests of the project.
I will, however, still write using my indention method, then run the code
through a 'Mangler' to make it match the standard.

Would it be possible to compromise on this, leaving each of us to use our
own style, then 'beautifying' or 'mangling' the source when we build a
release?
