I grabbed the patched BSD indent from a mirror. Here's a couple of points:
. with a little trial and error GNU indent 2.2.9 actually did quite a reasonable job for me last night. But I guess YMMV. I'm curious to know what nasty mangling it does.
. the file is a compressed tar file - it would be better to have a file extension of .tgz or .tar.gz instead of just .gz, so that this is apparent.
. I had to hack the makefile for my linux box for a reasonably clean build, so that the CFLAGS on the install line doesn't override setting the defines, and the compiler won't complain about isblank and/or strdup and/or fileno. The diff is attached for anyone interested.
