YES!  see source/.indent.pro, it's not perfect, but a pretty close fit.

1) always use a tab to indent, not spaces.
2) always use { and } even on single statements. 
3) { and } always align like this, on everything (including switch and
even case).

	if (...)
	{
		statement(s);
	}

4) limit of 80 chars per line.
5) if the number of indentations (when viewed with tab-as-eight-spaces)
forces you to start wrapping functions messily at the right hand side of
the screen, split the damn function!

that's pretty much it.
