I have been working on a set of code format
recommendations, similar to the C style guide.  I'm not
done yet, but was hoping to be before the sources group got
started.  If there's interest, I'll post some drafts next
week.

As for code formatters, no, I haven't seen any, though
I've heard there are some.  If the code to be formatted is
really bad, the formatter would almost need to be written
in PostScript or possess big chunks of a PostScript
interpreter.  I'd be willing to try to give an alleged
formatter a heart attack. :-)
