Note that you can find config for vim and emacs to get them to support the 
coding standards in:

/opt/src/pgsql-HEAD/src/tools/editors/emacs.samples
/opt/src/pgsql-HEAD/src/tools/editors/vim.samples

For vim, the essentials are thus:

:if match(getcwd(), "/pgsql") >=0 ||  match(getcwd(), "/postgresql") >= 0
:  set cinoptions=(0
:  set tabstop=4
:  set shiftwidth=4
:endif

The hooks are slightly different (though not by spectacularly much,
somewhat surprisingly) for Emacs...
