I took a quick look at the Guide...

With the exception of the _long_ section of options, which I think we
should put in an appendix, I'd say we should simply adopt the GNU guide
verbatim, with the following advisory when we're coding ABS:

        * if there's something that simply is irrelevant to MIT,
           we can ignore it
        * if there's something that REALLY runs against normal
          MIT or DCNS-dev standards ;-), then we report it to the
          rel-eng folks, and use the local convention instead...
        * if there's something that isn't the way it has SOMETIMES
          been done in the past, then we use the GNU style.

Thoughts?

Tim
