Yeah.  I hate code that forces a format.  Having never done FORTRAN77,
I needed to help a friend with a project.  So I fired up good ol'
emacs and had it "tell" me what to do.  emacs understands how to
format makefiles (highlighting the TAB v. space issue) as well as
formatting just about every other text based programming language I've
come across.  A real life saver!
