Perhaps Win32Lib should have one team member as editor in charge of
style--let the contributors write code however it comes naturally and the
editor will restyle it as needed to conform to the project coding standards.

I used a similar approch in a C class in which we produced programs as teams
and I was on a team with a fellow who wrote brilliant but unreadable
code--we got A' every time--the instructor couldn't understand his original
code, but obviously thought highly of the restyled code.
