I looked at using indent about two years ago. When I set the switches for the style I wanted to use (not the GNU standard) I ran into enough bugs to kill the idea. At the time for that project, I couldn't justify major work on indent. Perhaps the situation is better for the GNU standard style, or indent has been improved in the meantime. Someone should check. Otherwise this might be the project which justifies a major cleanup or rewrite of indent.
