I'd just set a firm date/time-range and then, in it goes.  Provided
everyone has a few days warning and knows where the cut over date is
there shouldn't be problems.

What time? Well the best is likely to be around midnight Sunday GMT
(that happens to be a normal Monday morning work day for me :-)  I'm
willing to run the script for you or you can set a time more convenient
for your self and run it then (in truth there is never a good time :-).

Having indent (no matter how bad its output :-) is also important.  If
someone gets stuck with a header file that got ripped apart they can
re-sync it using indent.

Thanks for this!
