I have cleaned up entab.c so I am ready to add a new option that removes
tabs from only comments.  Would you like me to create that and provide a
diff at a URL?  It would have to be run against all back branches.

If it goes well, it could prove to be a way to incrementally improve
pgindent.  If not, I am afraid we are stuck with our current pgindent
output.
