For compiling indent under Linux I use bmake(1). I have no problem with
including a Makefile for GNU Make in my repository.
As I understand it, there will be a copy of indent maintained by the
Postgres group - even less of a problem to include whatever you want, it
seems to me.
I think that Postgres will have to fork FreeBSD indent anyway, because
of nitems(), capsicum, __FBSDID(), etc. Now I only aim for the shortest
diff output.

I just replaced it with integer constants and nitems().

They'd started out like David Holland's tests for his tradcpp(1), with a
similar makefile (again, BSD make). But I was tenaciously asked to use
Kyua (a testing framework that is the standard regression test mechanism
for FreeBSD) instead, so now the makefile's existence and use is a great
secret and the file is not under any source control. Adaption of the
indent test suite to Kyua made the makefile more inelegant, but I'm
attaching it to this email in hope that you can do something useful with
it. I can only guess that you have the option to use Kyua instead, but I
don't know the tool at all.
