Well, that is what indent does.  I can try and work around it, but I am
afraid I will mess it up somehow.  Right now, all the stuff is indented
consistently, and running it again will only make the changed stuff look
like the rest.

Making a change will change all the code, even the unchanged stuff. 
Also, for comments, it will not change comments that are block-style. 
See the indent manual page and the flags I use for help.  Keep in mind I
use BSD indent, which does not have the bugs in GNU indent.
