Please, this is one of the most classic holy wars!

This topic is not djgpp specific, so it should be 
discussed elsewhere, in more general groups, like 
comp.lang.c (IMHO it is not worthful to discuss it 
anywhere :-)

If you are writing code for yourself, you are free to
use whatever indenting style you like. 
In case you are planning to write extensions/patches 
for djgpp or gnu software then you should use the same 
style you find in the code you are modifying

In both cases I miss the point in discussing about the 
best indenting style....
