GNU indent does a reasonable job, but it did some strange spacing for
function definitions, if I remember correctly.  Can you test by running
pgindent and gnuindent through the /executor files and do a diff to see
the differences in formatting?

OK, I updated it on the ftp site.  Can you download it?  It should have
size 41192.  Is _GNU_SOURCE required?  I didn't add that, but fixed the
install part.
