I thought they were already....

Structs should not be indented two spaces.

There was one release of indent that did the two space struct.  GDB, 
unfortunatly, happened to do its jumbo re-indent using that version. 
Ever since then, re-indents have been `fixing' this foobar.

Can you give a real example?  It might be a bug.  There is also the 
no-indent comment mechanism for comments that really should not be 
re-indented.

GDB's indentation is defined by the output of indent.  That one isn't 
open to negotation.
