In order to keep the code nice and clean we have a few requirements you'll
need to stick to in order to get your patch accepted:

- Use 2-space no-tabs for indentation (mandatory on new files, old ones will
  be re-indented eventually. When modifying an existing file with 8-space
  indentation keep the old style please).
- Use K&R style for the braces.
- No braces for one line control clauses.
- Callback functions have a suffix _cb.
- All files have to be encoded in UTF-8.
- Use char/int/double/..., not gchar/gint/gdouble/... types.
- All implementation files must include first "config.h", followed by
  the primary header, followed by a blank line, followed by all the
  other headers sorted alphabetically.

- data/kr-gnome-indent.cfg is provided as a reference config file for the
  uncrustify program to get correct indentation in new files.
