+1. We could improve on that by slurping it into src/tools though. If
there were a 'make patchprep' target, it'd be a lot more realistic.


But even so, it'd robably further inrease the rate of needing to
constantly rebase lingering patches if cfbot considered indentation
issues failures. E.g. because of typedefs.list updates etc. So I'm
against that, even if we had a patchprep target that didn't need
external tools.
