GNU "indent" is almost 100% based on BSD indent which was donated by
Sun. The only features I've found in GNU indent not supported in BSD
indent is the ability to tell indent to 'never' use tabs.  (Which I
absolutely *hate*)

That would be a good project for someone. :-)

4.4Lite has a indent template and style guide which works pretty well.
