Ok, I think this is done. I received the papers, signed them, sent it 
back to FSF and got an e-mail confirmation (no regular letter, just e-mail).
Can you check if all is ok?

Ok, I checked manually and with a diff between the file and the "indent" 
output. I followed indent suggestions for all but things that the 
original author did in a different way. The most important differences 
is between:
if (! condition)
and
if (!condition)

Attached is the output of cvs diff -u.
