Would 'indent' work? (http://www.gnu.org/directory/indent.html)

If so, after getting the settings as desired, it should be possible to
apply it to all the files at once if you really want to enforce a
certain style.  (Of course, that means that files would be updated that
have no change in code.)  In any case, I'd suggest putting such settings
as a cut-and-paste command line in "How to Contribute" so that people
can apply indent before submitting patches, and possibly automatically
applying indent before committing new files.
