Hans, one of the issues with doing such changes at the end is that it
effectively obliterates the ability to "cvs annotate" your code.  I'm
sure perforce has an 'annotate' command as well.

I would suggest that you find/fix the style now and apply it now rather
than later as the longer you wait, the more history you obliterate.
