+C function declarations should have the type on one line and the 
+function name and parameters on the following line, e.g.:
+
+```
+static int 
+convertCopy(char *from, int fromLen, char *to, int toLen, int term)
+```
+
+This facilitates searching for function definitions by searching for the 
+name at the beginning of the line.
+
+
+## Tabs are 4 spaces
+
+The heading says it all.

A side note: the legacy platforms/win32 is using these settings:

8-space tabs stops
2-space indent

I don't want to create massive change of ownership for fixing that...
