Ah, missed that - thanks!

Hmm, there are several things I didn't find in there:

 - tabs vs spaces (yes, you answered that below, but shouldn't that be
   in the doc too?)
 - indent (same comment as above)
 - bracing style (seems to be ANSI-style, according to the examples
   and the majority of code)
 - max line length (80 chars?)
 - indentation of wrapped lines - I've seen both fixed, 4 char indentation
   as well as align with paren in previous line.

Ok. The vast majority of lines in the source files I edited were of
the tab variety, and hence that's what I used - I can easily redo the
patches to use spaces on all the affected lines, if you'd like. Would
you like a patch that first fixes all the tabs, indentation, and
bracing? (just for .../solaris/SharedFolders/).
