Meh.  As far as I know, nobody's ever gotten decent-looking results from
other tools.  Also, if we say "use astyle" then we're vulnerable to
different peoples' installations producing different results.  There is
a whole lot to be said for bundling the tool into our source tree, if
we're going to recommend patching processes that depend on reproducible
results.
