Changes:

- Code is now using rules files to parse files specified by user
- Rules fixed

Usage: pretty [-language] filename(-s)

Project now need people who will write rules files for another  
languages. This is rule file for Ruby:

line.size \> 80 !!! Too long line  
line =~ /^;/ !!! Don’t use ;  
line =~ /[$]\w+/ !!! Using global variables is not good idea except that  
you are using special variables like $\_

If you write rule file for some language please post it to this forum. I  
will add ot to project immediately.
