I think Reid means to have a script that *prevents* checkin of code that
does not conform to some standards, verified by a pre-checking script.
The script would *not* be auto-modifying code before/after checkin.

My only issue is that it slows down the commits for all committers...
But it would force everyone to follow the coding standard(s)!

I was going to go that route, actually.

xemacs: aliased to vim

in other words, no clue. ;)
