+1 for that - it's no surprise that you have trouble convincing people
to follow the current process:

1) requires using a hacked copy of BSD indent; 2) which is stored
outside the main repo; 3) is run via a perl script that itself mungles
the source code (because the only indent tool that can support the
project's style doesn't actually support what's needed); 4) and wants to
retrieve a remote copy of typedefs.list (?). 

The only thing that makes this scheme even remotely viable is that
apt.postgresql.org includes a package for pg-bsd-indent.  I've used it
only a handful of times by running:
pg_bsd_indent -bad -bap -bbb -bc -bl -cli1 -cp33 -cdb -nce -d0 -di12 -nfc1 -i4 -l79 -lp -lpl -nip -npro -sac -tpg -ts4 -U .../typedefs.list

The perl wrapper is still a step too far for me (maybe it'd be tolerable
if available as a build target).

Would you want to make those the default options of the in-tree indent ?
Or provide a shortcut like --postgresql ?
