The inevitable: programming style :-)

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

Hacking around in the monit code lately I see that we use different
indentions. Could we please try to use the same style :-)

Use two spaces for indention (and using TAB for indention is strictly
verboten) and no line should be longer than 80 chars (split if it is,
the reason is that it should be possible to read the code in a
standard configured xterm 25x80). If you use two spaces for indention
the standard banana code pattern you get with lots of if/for/while
statements does not drop so easily out of the right margin.

Here is my setup in .emacs. If you use emacs simply put this into your
.emacs file and you get style :-)
