Re: Run entire codebase through GNU Indent?

I spend a lot of time reverse engineering stuff in Fontforge, and I don't
find the present (somewhat inconsistent) indentation style a big impediment
to my work. I sometimes restyle badly formatted code as I comment it, but
it's more the vast blocks of uncommented code that puzzle me, not how those
are indented.
