This is the new Emacs style for curl hacking, based on work written by

Mats Lidell in project Rockbox.

curl-style.el

+;;;; $Id$
+
+;;; The curl hacker's C conventions.
+
+;;; After loading this file and added the mode-hook you can in C
+;;; files, put something like this to use the curl style
+;;; automatically:
+;;
+;;   /* -----------------------------------------------------------------
+;;    * local variables:
+;;    * eval: (set c-file-style "curl")
+;;    * end:
+;;    */
