Where do I have to sign?

I very much prefer Linux kernel style, but that is a preference.  Having
an style that indent understands is a great idea, as it makes trivial to
make sure that you are not going againsnt CodingStyle.  Bigger advantage
of Linux Kernel one is the infrastructure/hooks already again.

Later, Juan.

PD. I am also in the team that dislikes K&R and GNU (speciall GNU).

First off, I'd suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards,
and NOT read it.  Burn them, it's a great symbolic gesture.
