which sets of files they ignore (rpm backups, dotfiles, and emacs
backups). It moves the tests into a common function so that
modifications only need to occur in one location.
utils package and manually fixed some places where perltidy's
reformatting made it harder to read. the options used were--
-i=4 # 4-space indentation
-l=0 # unlimited line length (for now)
-pt=2 # slightly tightened parens
-ce # cuddled elses
-nolq # don't outdent long quotes
-nsfs # don't add spaces in front of semi-colons in for ( ) statements
-isbc # only indent block comments that have whitespace in front of them
-otr # don't place a break between a comma and an opening brace
the code will be refactored to make it possible to switch to using
80-column line-breaks without resorting to really nasty formatting
constructs.
