This was no joke. If you say, you would accept such as reformating patch, I can easyly create one that eliminates all tab-characters, and generates nice and uniform indented code. This will make it a bit easier to create the small self-contained patches you want to see instead of the big one. As additional bonus you will get a very better formated shell32 code base.
There's no reason to reformat all of shell32. If a given function is messed up you can fix it (in a separate patch), but otherwise it doesn't really matter if all functions don't use the exact same style.

Proposal: add source code formatting at check-in - with a twist. The check-in script should only do the formatting if there is a comment in the header of the source file, like so:
/* Allow-auto-indenting */
Those who consider themselves "maintainers" of a certain file can add this comment to their patches and from then on the file will be auto-indented at check-in.
