The indentation style is most certainly *not* the GNU style. I tried to
provide an example reformatting of his code into the GNU style here, but I
can't stop the comment box eating all leading whitespace.

Among other differences: spaces before parentheses; no spaces in runs of
brackets (what were they *thinking*?); four-level indentation (tab-based
in the real thing) with braces at the two-character point (except for
top-level constructs, where the braces occur in column 0). Much much
easier to read than the OpenSSL abomination.

I still see many similarities between the openssl and gnu style(indentation) and frankly I consider the gnu style an abomination in itself. The linux kernel style is so much more readable! That said, the rest of the openssl style is a mess, like the horrible pseudorandom use of capital letters.
