Giorgos Keramidas <keramida at ceid.upatras.gr> pointed out that their is a 
  FreeBSD style guide. There is also a GNU style guide, 
(http://www.nongnu.org/style-guide/) but the GNU people point out that 
what is more important than following their guide, it maintaining 
consistency within 1 project/product.
