[ale] C++ indent/beautifier

[Charles Shapiro]

Around here we use astyle (http://sourceforge.net/projects/astyle). It
ain't too terribly sophisticated or nothin', but it seems to Do The Job
on Java and C.  It's written in C++ and claims to handle that language
as well.  

The controls are pretty crude. For example, you get a choice of three
ways to handle brackets but you can't actually create a brand-new way
(the best of the three ways only approximates what I 
really want to see).  

If you can get it to do what you want, it seems reliable. At least it
hasn't mangled any of the Java source I've thrown at it. It's GPLed,
so if  you are ambitious you could probably code up a proper
configuration language for it.
