All,

This is a follow-up on point #5 from my post earlier this month entitled
"TDE GIT thaw, build farm status, and future direction".

I would like to start converting over the codebase ASAP.  I have an
automated tool that will do this, but would like some feedback on the
style to convert into as reformatting like this is a one-time operation
that will not be repeated for the life of the TDE project.

As mentioned above I strongly prefer a modified Stroustrup style
formatting.  Is this acceptable to the other developers, and if not, what
would you rather use and why?

Thanks!

Tim
