Common code indentation (follow-up to 2007 discussion)

[Christian Stimming]

After a short discussion on this topic in June, it seems to me everyone is 
more or less satisfied with the style proposed below. If this is the case, I 
would volunteer to actually transform the code according to this style.

Regards,

Christian
