If you have a style guide, you really need a matching indent.pro or
equivalent.  It's not so important to automate it's use, it's only
important that there is one and it's in cvs.  A style guide without a
matching indent.pro is just a rant.

Oh, and not everybody uses vi and/or emacs, so stuff to support those is
not generally useful.
