Having observed some failing on the current indent 2.2.5 (which
are absent on the Cygwin issue of 2.2.8) I thought I might try my
hand at a port from gnu.

So I got indent.2.2.9.tar.gz from gnu, opened it up, moved to the
src subdir, ran bash, and entered "../configure".  This ran for at
least 1.5 hours (I went to bed) and ended up announcing something
close to "can't create .lineno, use a POSIX shell".

All this on my 486/80 machine.  (I have been threatening to get
another for several years)  Don't laugh, it does just fine for
most things.  At any rate I am NOT about to make the port.  I
haven't the vaguest idea what that configure script is doing,
except it appears to run sh and sed incessantly, with an
occasional call to chmod.
