Yep.  The cause is that find_typedefs actually pulls the typedef out of
the debugged-enabled binary, and on Unix those functions aren't used by
default.  This is spelled out in the pgindent/README in CVS.

I could just EXEC_BACKEND in the debug build I use but I suppose there
are other typedef I am missing as well.  Any idea on a more
comprehensive solution to finding typedefs?
