I disagree with that one. The * belongs to the variable, not to the type.

I think we should use, depending of indention used:
char *variable;
and for column style indention
char *          variable;
but NOT
char* variable;

Putting the the first ; and the , befor the variable looks nicer
(and is easier to exend). I would really like to keep that style.

another thing:
I would like to have the opening curly bracket of a class or struct definition
on the next line, as we do when defining functions:

class Foobar
{
public:
                       Foobar();
                       ~Foobar();
    char *          String();

private:
    int                fNextName;
};

It's not easy to find a consensus, this probably needs some more discussion.
