Hi,

  The latest version of c++-mode from ./etc has several annoying quirks.

1. Regular C-style comments don't correctly align themselves automagically:
   Try:
   
  /* I am a comment,
    This is not
      what should
        be happening! */

   I don't believe that the earlier version got this wrong.

2. Also, formatting a class declaration does weird things to public
   and private, e.g.:        

----------------------------------------
class foo
{
private:
  int i;        
public:
  foo ();
};
----------------------------------------

turns into

----------------------------------------
class foo
{
 private:
  int i;        
 public:
  foo ();
};
----------------------------------------

Which is not as nice (IMHO).  I have a feeling that the reformatter
thinks public and private are labels, and treats them accordingly.  If
anyone knows a good fix I'd appreciate it!

3. Finally, so I won't be accused of only criticizing without contributing
   (;-)), here's a neat ``high-voltage'' addition that toggles 
   c-auto-newline mode on and off.  I find this especially useful
   when I'm writing new code (it can be annoying when maintaining
   code).
