It seems Matt was the main culprit here, and he have fixed his stuff 
now. (He was using WinCVS with inappropriate settings that un-did the 
automatic conversion).

No, just following the style I have used (i.e. the majority of the 
code). I basically use the Sun conventions, with exception for braces.

If I see 4 spaces in a file I often just do "Reformat all" in IntelliJ 
which will reformat it to 3 spaces. It's not *that* a big deal, but if 
you have a choice, 3 is the way to go.
