I need to publish some source code soon, and I'd like it to be nicely
presented.  I'm already using indent and doing a goodly amount of 
manual tweaking, but I'm searching for some automatic assistance.

In particular, I'd like to have my comments italicized, just like the
Sun manuals do (to good effect).  This would require, at minimum,
some ?roff macros, plus a tool to scan the code and insert appropriate
formatting commands.  Not hard to do, but I've got little time to
do it.  Anyone have anything already cooked up?

Also, I am open to other code-beautifying tools, if such exist.
