OK, I have changed pgindent to reflect the new structure names, and have
made your requested changes.  For #1, if the line began with an alpha,
and ends with a *, I remove tabs/spaces before the * and make it only
one space.  Let me know how you like the changes.

I have not run it on the source yet because people are still holding
patches.
