I'm in favor of reindenting too, but only if you're doing major work
on a module.  I.e. don't just reindent a module when you're fixing a
few lines of code; but when you're doing a major refactoring, it
should be fine.

CVS-wise, it's better to do the reindent as a separate checkin, so you
know you're not changing anything else.  (Preferably just *before* you
start doing any major surgery.)
