Enh, we knew you were crazy before this already.  :-)

I don't feel very strongly about the namespace indentation.  And I do
agree that libsupc++ should also be redone.

This is funny, because everything /other/ than the namespace indentation
I tried to do according to C++STYLE.  So violations like the one you posted
are definitely wrong.

I'm willing to yield on the namespace thing; editors and tools which
can't handle column-zero braces are not required tools in the first place.
I'll re-indent them as soon as I'm up and running again.  (I'm moving my
development from one machine to another, and it's amazing how entrenched
all my scripts and crap had become...)  This week probably.
