+*astyle-0.15.3 (24 Apr 2002)
+
+  24 Apr 2002; Karl Trygve Kalleberg <karltk@gentoo.org> astyle-1.15.3.ebuild files/digest/astyle-1.15.3 :
+  
+  Artistic Style is a reindenter and reformatter of C++, C and Java source 
+  code.
+
+  When indenting source code, we as programmers have a tendency to use both 
+  spaces and tab characters to create the wanted indentation. Moreover, some 
+  editors by default insert spaces instead of tabs when pressing the tab key, 
+  and other editors (Emacs for example) have the ability to "pretty up" lines 
+  by automatically setting up the white space before the code on the line, 
+  possibly inserting spaces in a code that up to now used only tabs for 
+  indentation. 
+
+  Since the NUMBER of space characters showed on screen for each tab character
+  in the source code changes between editors (until the user sets up the 
+  number to his liking...), one of the standard problems facing programmers 
+  when moving from one source code editor to another is that code containing 
+  both spaces and tabs that was up to now perfectly indented, suddenly becomes
+  a mess to look at when changing to another editor. Even if you as a 
+  programmer take care to ONLY use spaces or tabs, looking at other peoples 
+  source code can still be problematic.
+
+  To address this problem I have created Artistic Style - a series of filters,
+  written in C++, that automatically reindent & reformat C/C++/Java source 
+  files. These can be used from a command line, or it can be incorporated as 
+  classes in another C++ program.
