As open source projects go, indent is pretty dead.

indent's been looking hopelessly/helplessly for a
new maintainer for a long time.

I think the last time Lindent as run over any bit
of kernel code was when Linus made a mess of the
reiserfs code.

It was setup reasonably well for 132 columns, but
Lindent made it unreadable with all sorts of
			foo.
			bar
			[baz]
			= func(
			arg1,
			arg2);
lines.
