I would like to go a bit further than that. I see that GNU indent
doesn't recognize -V, but prints its version if you use the option
--version. I wish to implement the same option for FreeBSD indent, but
that would force a change in how pgindent recognizes indent.

As for the version bump, I briefly considered "9.7.0", but 2.0 seems
more appropriate as the 2 would reflect the fundamental changes that
I've done and the .0 would indicate that it's still rough around edges.
