Having been through the problem if weird formatting, what worked for
us is what is recommended here:  Check everything out, reformat it,
recompile, and verify a bit exact optimized stripped executable; if
it's not bit-exact, the formatter did more than reformat.

I've seen reformatters change tabs to spaces INSIDE string literals -
we didn't use that one, of course :-)
