The way to do that is to use spaces to align the stuff in the if
statement.

	if (long_ blah blah blah blah blah blah ==
	    this part lines up with the 'l' in "long_")
		frob();

Read CodingStyle.  One other thing is that in staging we prefer if
multi-line indents have braces around them even if it's not needed.

Ugly:
	for (i = 0; i < 100; i++)
		if (x) {
			frob();
			frob();
			frob();
		}

Nice to look at:
	for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
		if (x) {
			frob();
			frob();
			frob();
		}
	}

This thread, but it doesn't matter.
