and most times, those have to be merged into the source tree due to
extensive changes anyway ... maybe we should just get rid of the use of
pgindent altogether? its not something that I've ever seen required on
other projects I've worked on ... in general, most projects seem to
require that a submit'd patch from an older release be at least tested on
the newest CVS, and with nightly snapshots being created as it is, I
really don't see why such a requirement is a bad thing ...
