Hmmm ... inserting all of those as the default options would likely
make it impossible to update pg_bsd_indent itself with anything like
its current indent style (not that it's terribly consistent about
that).  I could see inventing a --postgresql shortcut switch perhaps.

But it's not clear to me why you're allergic to the perl wrapper?
It's not like that's the only perl infrastructure in our build process.
Also, whether or not we could push some of what it does into pg_bsd_indent
proper, I can't see pushing all of it (for instance, the very PG-specific
list of typedef exclusions).
