The 'pretty' program (which is just a front end for 'indent') reformats
programs, but doesn't quite get everything right.  This causes lots of
problems when merging in fixes from various people because I want a
consistent style.  As a consequence, there is more hand editing than
I like.

Is there anyone who is willing to do a bit of work on 'indent' to make it
up to snuff?  Is so, first look at the code (fairly complicated).  If still
interested, please contact me.

Thanks.
