I'm not familiar with the /usr/share/misc style, but I assume you're
referring to things like formatting (tab stops, etc).  Let's put it this
way, I _think_ the indent program was set to BSD-style formatting mode
when I ran it on the tree.  It was originally a hodge-podge of about three
or four totally different-looking styles.  Normally, we don't make
formatting changes in our tree after something is in there, but I ripped
out about a fourth of the sources (x86 code from mach that was not used,
etc.) in the same commit, so....  :-)

It's the old one, the IWM.
