I gather that Andrew will be working on replacing the pgindent shell
script with a Perl script, but this new script will still rely on our
patched BSD indent, right?

Of course, it would make sense to further patch indent so that it
accepts typedefs in a file instead of thousands of -T switches, but that
seems orthogonal.
