indent, line splitting?

[Dean Gaudet <dg...@arctic.org>]

Shouldn't our indent settings be doing line splitting?  They don't seem to
be for me.

% indent --version
GNU indent 1.9.1

Oh yeah, and one more gotcha to watch out for:  It doesn't understand
mismatched {} caused by #ifdef grunginess.  i.e. there used to be code
in http_main.c:

#ifdef MPE
    if (blah blah blah) {
	if (bluh bluh bluh) {
#else
    if (feh foh fee) {
#endif
	whatever;
    }
#ifdef MPE
    }
#endif

It got really confused by that.

I'm also finding that indent sometimes (but not always) totally mutates
switch statements.  It indents the case labels sometimes, and then lines
the code up with that.  But not all the time ... and we do specify -cli0
which should mean no indenting of the case statement.

Also on alloc.c it totally screws up because it does not understand va_arg
that well -- watch out for this.  I had to change:

    va_arg(ap, char *)

to:
    
    va_arg(ap, char_star)

and then reverse the change after running indent.

I just mention these things to dispel the notion that we can do this
periodically or on any automated basis.  indent is just not perfect
technology.
