Shouldn't things like this be 4 rather than 8? The style manpage says
"Indentation is an 8 character tab.  Second level indents are four
spaces.".
 
That's what I've been having the most trouble with. If I define
c-basic-offset to be 8, and then define other offsets to be 4, it
doesn't work for me. I don't really speak emacs lisp very well though,
so maybe my accent is screwing things up.

Maybe that's my problem. Any way to do what the style manpage wants?
