Or we could make 'make indent' on all files part of the release
process. :)

See:

I'm not convinced the order our current buildconf script runs the
various auto*-tools is guaranteed to always end up in a usable state.
There is some logic in the autoreconf tool that does the right thing in
all cases.

Thus, having our buildconf script contain:

#!/bin/sh
autoreconf --install

should be sufficient, although we'll need to re-work how
example/simple/config.h is handled.
