When starting on the Qt code I found the Google C++ Style Guide to be
helpful: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml
Anyone outside of Google probably shouldn't adhere to it strictly but
it provides clean, concise descriptions on why they do and don't do
various things.
We should steal the format for README.developer, BTW.
