There was a discussion on the main Cygwin list about alternatives to 
indent (for C++) some time ago.  A number of possibilities were brought
up.  Unfortunately, I can only find the thread that makes mention of 
the one alternative I had (bcpp).  The thread in question is 
"indent-2.2.5 and ed-0.2".  Not sure where all the good pointers were
that I recall (or maybe I'm just hearing voices in my head... ;-) )
