On the Macintosh, BBEdit will do this for you.

Otherwise, on any platform, if your text editor does search and 
replace, you can do a pretty good job with three replace operations:

	Pattern			Replace

	{			{\n\t
	;			;\n\t
	}			}\n\n

In other words, replace each instance of '{' by '{' followed by a 
newline and a tab, each instance of ';' by a ';' followed by a 
newline and a tab, and each instance of '}' by a '}' followed by two 
newlines.

Watch out if your CSS contains some of the gnarlier hacks, as any 
reformatting could break the hack.
